Function
The pneumatic tool drives single nails into a piece of wood. You can
use either a compressed air cartridge mounted on the pneumatic
tool, or a pressure hose for the compressed air supply. Excess
pressure is discharged through pressure relief valves.
You can adjust depth-of-drive by regulating the air pressure or with
the adjusting wheel for the safety device.
Product features
The pneumatic tool has the following additional features:
Operation either with compressed air cartridge or a compressed
air system,
Trigger safety with single fire or bump fire,
Lock-out safety device,
Magazine with rear-loading system,
Adjustable exhaust air discharge and
Depth adjustment.
Left/right and direction information
The left/right or direction information in this operating manual is
based on view direction towards the material.
The direction information for the compressed air regulator is based
on the view from behind looking at the operating pressure regulator.

Preparing the pneumatic tool
Unpacking the pneumatic tool
Remove the pneumatic tool from the packaging.
Remove all packaging material, such as foil, fill material, and
packing box.
WARNING
A risk of suffocation exists for children when
playing with the packaging foil.
Never permit children to play with
packaging foil.
Store packaging material where it is
inaccessible to children.
Store the packaging for later use.
Keep the transport case for transport of the pneumatic tool.

Only transport the pneumatic tool in the transport case.

Preparing the pneumatic tool
17
Check the condition
WARNING
An injury hazard exists when operating a
damaged pneumatic tool, or if accessories are
not properly mounted.
Check the condition of the pneumatic tool
prior to each use.
Only use pneumatic tools that are in
trouble-free condition.
Check the following points in particular:
- The hose line should not be damaged.
- All pneumatic tool parts and all accessory parts must be
securely attached.
- The safety devices should not be blocked or otherwise
impaired in function.
- The spring of the safety device should not be damaged.
- There should be no external damage to any parts of the
pneumatic tool or the accessories, such as scratches or dents.

Scratches in the paint of the housing or of the magazine are
not considered damage.
Do not connect a damaged pneumatic tool to a compressed air
supply.
Have specialized personnel repair a damaged pneumatic tool
before placing it in service.

Preparing the pneumatic tool
18
Connecting the pneumatic tool to the compressed air
supply
You can connect the pneumatic tool to a compressed air system or
to compressed air cartridge.
If you connect the pneumatic tool to a compressed air system, you
can economically execute frequent driving processes at the same
location. Moreover you can feed lubricating oil into the pneumatic
tool via the compressed air system.
When you connect the pneumatic tool to a compressed air cartridge
you are independent of a stationary system.

You can connect the pneumatic tool to both sources of
compressed air at the same time. In this case the compressed
air in the cartridge will be consumed first. Then the
compressed air will be consumed from the compressed air
system.
The permissible operating pressure of the pneumatic tool is 8.3 bar.
If the permissible operating pressure is exceeded then the pointer in
the manometer for the operating pressure is in the red area.
This can occur under the following conditions:
If both safety valves are defective and
You have connected the pneumatic tool to a compressed air
system with excessive pressure, or to an unsuitable compressed
air cartridge.
WARNING
Explosion hazard when exceeding the
maximum operating pressure.
In this case disconnect the pneumatic tool
immediately from the compressed air
supply.

Preparing the pneumatic tool
19
Attaching the compressed air cartridge
Unscrew the sealing plug from the connecting thread (1.).
Check the connection and the connection thread of the
compressed air cartridge for foreign objects and fouling.
Clean the connection and the connection thread if necessary.
Check the condition of the pneumatic tool (see page 17).
WARNING
Inadvertent release can result in serious or
fatal injuries.
Do not point the pneumatic tool at people
or animals.
Empty the magazine before connecting.

Preparing the pneumatic tool
20
WARNING
Operation with unsuitable compressed air
cartridges can result in damage to the
pneumatic tool.
Only operate the pneumatic tool with type
KT-3500 compressed air cartridges.
Unscrew the sealing cap from the compressed air cartridge.
Slide the compressed air cartridge into the holders (2.).
Screw the compressed air cartridge hand-tight into the thread on
the connection element (3.).
The manometer on the connection for the compressed air cartridge
now shows the actual pressure available in the cartridge. The
pneumatic tool is ready for operation when the pointer of the
manometer is in the green area.
The manometer for the operating pressure shows the actual
operating pressure.
