2. COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
Proper functioning of the fastener driving tool re-
quires filtered, dry and oiled compressed air in ad-
equate quantities.
If the air pressure in the line system exceeds the max-
imum permissible operating pressure of the fastener
driving tool, a pressure reducing valve followed by a
downstream safety valve shall additionally be fitted
in the supply line to the tool.
Note: When compressed air is generated by
compressors, the natural moisture in the air
condenses and collects as condensed water
in pressure vessels and pipelines. This condensate
must be removed by water separators. These water
separators must be checked on a daily basis and
drained if necessary, since corrosion can otherwise
develop in the compressed air system and in the fas-
tener driving tool, which serves to accelerate wear.
The compressor plant shall be adequately dimen-
sioned in terms of pressure output and performance
(volumetric flow) for the consumption which is to be
expected. Line sections which are too small in rela-
tion to the length of the line (pipes and hoses), as well
as overloading the compressor, will result in pressure
drops.
Permanently laid compressed air pipelines should
have an internal diameter of least 19 mm (0.75 inch)
and a correspondingly larger diameter where rela-
tively long pipelines or multiple users are involved.
Compressed air pipelines should be laid so as to form
a gradient (highest point in the direction to the com-
pressor). Easily accessible water separators should
be installed at the lowest points.
Junctions for users should be joined to the pipelines
from above.
Connecting points for fastener driving tools should
be fitted with a compressed air servicing unit (filter/
water separator/ lubricator) directly at the junction
point. Lubricators must be checked on a daily basis
and topped up with the recommended grade of oil
(see technical data) if necessary. Adjust the lubricator
of the maintenance unit to 1 drop for approx. every 15
blows of the fastener. Check the oil level in the reser-
voir regularly.
Where hose lengths of over 10 mm (33 ft) are used,
the oil supply for the fastener driving tool cannot be
guaranteed. We therefore recommend an lubricator
attached directly to the fastener driving tool. Adjust
the dosing so that it has to be refilled approximately
every 30 000 blows.
3. PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
3.1 PREPARING A TOOL FOR FIRST TIME
OPERATION
Please read and observe these operating instructions
before using the tool. Basic safety measures should
always be strictly followed to protect against damage
to the equipment and personal injury to the user or

other people working in the vicinity of operation.
3.2 CONNECTION TO THE COMPRESSED AIR
SYSTEM
Ensure that the pressure supplied by the compressed
air system does not exceed the maximum permissi-
ble operating pressure of the fastener driving tool.
Set the air pressure initially to the lower value of
the recommended operating pressure (see technical
data).
Empty the magazine to prevent a fastener from being
ejected at the next stage of work in the event that in-
ternal parts of the fastener driving tool are not in the
starting position following maintenance and repair
work or transportation.
Connect the fastener driving tool to the compressed
air supply using suitable pressure hose equipped
with quick-action connectors.
Refer to the technical data sheet for the size of plug-
in nipple.

3.3 FILLING THE MAGAZINE

Only those fasteners specified under technical data
(see 2) may be used.
When filling the magazine, hold the tool so that the
muzzle is not pointing towards your own body or to-
wards any other person. Do not load the tool with fas-
teners with the safety yoke or trigger depressed.
Further design-related specifications such as the fas-
tener insertion or removal as well as filling can be
found in the technical data sheet.
3.4. HANDLING THE TOOL
Note section 1. Special references of these operating
instructions.
Having checked that the fastener driving tool is func-
tioning correctly, apply the tool to a workpiece and
actuate the trigger.
You should endeavour in any event to work with the
lowest possible air pressure. This will give you three
significant advantages:
1. energy will be saved,
2. less noise will be produced,
3. a reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be
achieved.
Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the maga-
zine is empty.
Any defective or improperly functioning fastener
driving tool must immediately be disconnected from
the compressed air supply and passed to a specialist
for inspection.
In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end of
the working shift, disconnect the tool from the com-
pressed air supply and empty the magazine.
The compressed air connectors of the fastener driv-
ing tool and the hoses should be protected against
contamination. The ingression of coarse dust, chips,
sand etc. will result in leaks and damage to the fas-
tener driving tool and the couplings.
Keep the tool dry.
