Using this documentation.
The instructions are categorised according to the type of user of the installation.
The following terms are used:
User
This is the daily user of the installation.
Service personnel
Persons with training, experience and tools that are required for the described work activities.
Safety ofcer

this purpose, this will be the employer himself.
Work activities that are not included in this documentation must be performed by Senco personnel.
FOREWORD
INTRODUCTION
2 Introduction
This installation is designed and constructed so that it can be safely maintained and used. This applies to the use, the
conditions and the regulations, as described in this documentation. Reading and adhering to this documentation and
complying with the instructions are therefore necessary for everyone who works with or on this installation. In the event of
professional use, the safety ofcer or employer is responsible for ensuring that the relevant persons are fully familiar with
and comply with these instructions.
In this documentation, a distinction is made between normal use and other work activities. The reason for this is that,
especially with regard to safety, the service personnel are subject to other requirements than the users.
The adjustments and/or settings must be performed by qualied service personnel.
2.1 Users
The installation can be operated by any adult person who is conversant with and observes the content of safety and
operating instructions. The safety ofcer checks that the user is capable of using and has adequate knowledge of the
installation.
3. Purpose and function of the Smart Bridge
The purpose is to tack materials to each other with the ability to very quickly switch to another type of element
with another size.
The working conditions for the user are optimal:
• Since the tacking machines are installed on the Smart Bridge and are moved by the user by hand. The user no longer has
to climb onto the table. This simplies the work for the users (tacking, pressing and no requirement to lift).
• Since the tack distance can be set, you have a better and greater-looking product.
The quality of the product is partly determined by the quality and dimensional accuracy of the material to be processed.
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF THE SMART BRIDGE

Warnings on the Smart Bridge must remain clearly legible. And, if necessary, be replaced.

• Only fasteners from Senco are used. These are tested by Senco for these devices.
• The Smart Bridge receives the correct maintenance (see Maintenance chapter).
• The user and the employees who work on the Smart Bridge or in the vicinity wear safety glasses and the correct
hearing protection.
• Before a button is operated, the user must check that he can safely press this button.
• The operating pressure does not exceed 8 bar.
• The devices never tack 2 x in the same location (the tacks can ricochet off the tacks that are already present).
• The devices and sensors are rmly secured and correctly adjusted (see adjustments)!
• No people on the worktable.
• No objects may be placed on the Smart Bridge or table which the Smart Bridge has to pass over or that can
obstruct the passage of the Smart Bridge.
• You must ensure that the sheet material lies at so that it does not obstruct the passage of the tacking machines.
• If deviating cases are encountered, you must immediately inform Senco.
• Ensure that children do not have access to the installation.
• During maintenance, disconnect the compressed air.
• Only persons who have read and are fully familiar with operating instructions may operate the installation.
• Safety precautions may not be removed or rendered inoperative.
• Do not place anything on or underneath the installation.
• Ensure that there is sufcient ambient lighting.
• During the work, always ensure that 1 or more persons are present.
• The installation may not be put into use before all settings and adjustments have been properly made.
• Do not reach into the installation with your hands or with objects.
• In the event of malfunctions, service personnel must be deployed.
• Work may not take place without hearing protection.
• Nothing on the installation may be modied.
• Warning signs on the installation must remain clearly legible and, if necessary, renewed.
SAFETY

The maximum depth of the tack is a few tenths of a
millimetre below the surface. If this is adjusted too deep,
the tacker unit will „stick” and leave stripes behind on the
material!

5 Operation
OPERATION
• Connect the main air to the Smart Bridge.
• Check for leaks and rectify these if necessary.
• Connect 220 volts to the terminal box:
➀Information is then displayed on the display of the control module.
➀If nothing is displayed, check that the red button is
pulled out.
• The devices then revert to pause mode.
• Place a workpiece on the table and move the Smart Bridge until it is
above the workpiece.
• ➀Switch on tacker units 1 and 2 by pressing tacker units 1 and 2
on the control module.
➀At the top left of the window, 12 appears (tacker unit 1 and 2
tacker unit 2).
For automatic height adjustment (optional):
Press button Y-. The devices move downwards.
• Pressing the red button jolts both devices.
5.1 Depth adjustment
• Check the depth of the tack in the material.
• The height of the tacker can be adjusted using 12 bolts:
Set the tacker slightly higher: the tack is inserted less deeply into the
material.
Set the tacker slightly lower: the tack is inserted deeper into the
material.

5.2.1 Manual height adjustment
• Place the tacker unit on the product to be tacked. Unscrew nut ➀
until a clearance of 1-2 mm is obtained.
• The swivel wheels now rest on the product. During the tacking, the
tacker unit moves over the product. Since the swivel wheels follow
the product, every tack is the same depth. Due to this construction,
the tacker unit does not fall in when passing an opening.
5.2.2 Automatic height adjustment (optional)
• Y + = units upwards.
• Y - = units downwards.

reparatie of onderhoud.
Werkzaamheden die uitgevoerd dienen te worden door personeel van Senco zijn niet in deze documentatie opgenomen.
Het gebruiken van deze documentatie.
De instructies zijn ingedeeld naar de soort gebruiker van de installatie.
De volgende benamingen worden gebruikt:
Gebruiker
Dit is de dagelijkse gebruiker van de installatie.
Servicepersoneel
Personen met opleiding, ervaring en hulpmiddelen die vereist zijn voor de beschreven werkzaamheden.
Veiligheidsfunctionaris

aangewezen is zal dit de werkgever zelf zijn.
Werkzaamheden die niet in deze documentatie zijn opgenomen dienen uitgevoerd te worden door personeel van Senco.
VOORWOORD
INLEIDING
2 Inleiding
Deze installatie is zodanig ontworpen en gebouwd dat deze veilig onderhouden en gebruikt kan worden. Dit geldt voor de
toepassing, de omstandigheden en de voorschriften, zoals in deze documentatie omschreven. Het lezen en volgen van
deze documentatie en het opvolgen van de instructies zijn dus noodzakelijk voor iedereen die met of aan deze installatie
werkt. Bij professioneel gebruik is het de verantwoordelijkheid van de veiligheidsfunctionaris of werkgever dat deze
instructies bekend zijn en nageleefd worden.
Er wordt in deze documentatie onderscheid gemaakt tussen normaal gebruik en overige werkzaamheden. De reden
hiervan is dat er, vooral met het oog op veiligheid, aan het servicepersoneel andere eisen worden gesteld dan aan
gebruikers.
De afstellingen en of instellingen moeten door terzake deskundig servicepersoneel worden uitgevoerd.
2.1 Gebruikers
De installatie kan worden bediend door elk volwassen persoon, die de inhoud van veiligheid en bedieningsvoorschriften
kent en opvolgt. De veiligheidsfunctionaris controleert of de gebruiker in staat is en voldoende kennis heeft om met de
installatie te werken.
3. Doel en functie van de Smart Bridge
Het doel is materialen op elkaar te hechten met de mogelijkheid zeer snel om te schakelen naar een ander type element
met een andere maatvoering.
De werkomstandigheden voor de gebruiker zijn optimaal:
• Doordat de hechtmachines zijn ingebouwd op de Smart Bridge en handmatig worden bewogen door de gebruiker. De
gebruiker hoeft niet meer op de tafel te klimmen. Dit zorgt voor een arbeids-vriendelijker werken. (Hechten, aandrukken
en niet hoeven tillen)
• Omdat de spijkerafstand kan worden ingesteld, heeft men beter en mooier product.
De kwaliteit van het product wordt mede bepaald door de kwaliteit en maatnauwkeurigheid van het te verwerken
materiaal.
DOEL EN FUNCTIE VAN DE SMART BRIDGE
Waarschuwingen
Waarschuwingen op de Smart Bridge moeten duidelijk leesbaar blijven. En indien nodig worden
vernieuwd.
