Foreword
The present operation manual and instal-
lation instructions describe the professional
application of the new fixing clip system for
RHEINZINK-Standing Seam Profiles. The
centrepiece represents RHEINZINK-CLIPFIX.
Please read this manual carefully before ini-
tial operation of this device and adhere to
the safety instructions.
We assume original RHEINZINK-Profiles,
RHEINZINK-Fixing Clips made of stainless
steel and RHEINZINK-CLIPFIX Single and
Collated Screws being used for the proper
application of RHEINZINK-CLIPFIX as de-
scribed in the following illustrations.
All contents are based on building practise
experience and correspond to the latest
state of knowledge in the field of research
and development and to the generally ac-
cepted standards of modern engineering.
Please note that despite the detailed instal-
lation instructions you are always personally
responsible for your manner of proceeding.
We have to point out, that the RHEINZINK-
CLIPFIX is related to the European Guideline
2006/42/EG and in this meaning an “in-
complete machine”. Therefore a CE-marking
is not required. We also reserve the right to
make any necessary modification resulting
from the technical progress of this system.

OPERATION
1.3.1 Screwing
Correct Insertion Depth
1 Screw head totally screwed in flush with
the fixing clip hole
Incorrect Screwing
2 Protruding screw head
3 Screwing in too deep = strong deformati-
on clip
If the screw is permanently screwed in too
deep, the bit wears off very strongly and
quickly.

How to change the Insertion Depth
The insertion depth can be varied by turning
the adjusting ring of the CLIPFIX MAGAZIN
ATTACHMENT. Please carry out test screw-
ings afterwards.
Attention!
Max. screw size Ø 4,2mm x 55 mm on timber boarding and OSB/veneer plywood
sheathing.
The machine is not suitable to be used as a usual screw driller!

INSTALLATION WITH CLIPFIX
2. Installation with CLIPFIX
2.1 Static
There are many factors influencing a secure
and durable installation of RHEINZINK
standing seam roofs. Apart from choosing
the most suitable substructure the choice of
the single components of the roofing system
is most important. All measures and functions
of the different parts should fit perfectly.
The RHEINZINK-clips are made of stainless
steel, the CLIPFIX MAGAZIN ATTACHMENT
and the CLIPFIX-Single and Collated Screws
meet highest safety demands.
In wind tunnel studies we tested our RHEIN-
ZINK-Standing Seam System simulating a
wind load over 50 years in combination
with these system elements. At the same time
we simulated a 20-year period in which the
movement of the sliding clips and their be-
havior was examined. The result marks the
beginning of a new era in the installation of
standing seam roofs. The permissible design
load of 600 Newton considerably exceeds
that load of traditional clips. You will work
more economically as processing (screwing
instead of nailing) requires less time due to
greater distances between the clips.
We offer a standard clip with a suitable
height for the installation of RHEINZINK-
Standing Seam Panels either on a (natural)
roof boarding or on suitable wood-based
panels like plywood or oriented strand
boards (OSB). If building physics make the
installation of the structured underlay AIR-Z
or VAPOZINC inevitable, a higher clip is
available. While the standard clips are la-
beled with ST, the higher clips are marked
with H.
You should consult an architect/planner or
a structural engineer for calculating the wind
loads for your construction project. These data
make it easy to determine the number of clips
needed per square metre. Please make use
of our declaration of conformity for your pro-
ject for documenting the wind loads and the
number of installed fixing clips.

Information: Assembly of Snow Guard
Systems and Clamps
Snow guard clamps, as well as the RHEIN-
ZINK-Clamp S5 should be mounted in a dis-
tance of at least 25 mm to the next clip to
ensure that the sliding function and the ex-
pansion behaviour of the RHEINZINK roof-
ing still works.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE/WARRENTY
3. Maintenance and Care
■Check the CLIPFIX MAGAZIN SCREW-
DRIVER continuously for damages and
clean it with compressed air.
■The individual movable parts should be
greased/oiled regularly.
■The CLIPFIX-MAGAZIN ATTACHMENT
must be stored in a dry place.
■Check the hexagon screws occasion-
ally for tightness.
■Check the bits regularly and replace
them if necessary.
■Check the depth setting of the bit
regularly. If the screws are permanently
screwed in too deep, the bit wears out
very strongly and quickly.
■For care instructions of the FEIN-Screw-
driver, please refer to the FEIN Opera-
tion Manual.
Repair work should only be carried out
by professional personnel, using original
spare parts.

Error Solution
1 The RHEINZINK adapter can-
not be pushed onto the autofeed
screwdriver or slips off during
operation.
Tighten the threaded screw on the machi-
ne head carefully using a 27 mm open-end
wrench.

when pushing on/removing from
the autofeed screwdriver.
Grease the RHEINZINK adapter occasional-
ly, so that it can be pushed on to the autofeed
screwdriver smoothly.
Loosen the threaded screw on the machine
head slightly, if this is over-tightened causing
a crown to form on the screwdriver neck.
