Starting Operation; Working Advice - Rapid BN50 Originalbetriebsanleitung

– Press the pretensioned nail pusher 14 against the
magazine slider 13 and at the same time, pull the magazine
slider completely to the end of the magazine 12.
Note: The magazine slider must slide back with only low force
(finger-pressure). A tight-running magazine slider causes the
nails to be driven in at an incorrect angle.
– With the nail pusher 14 pressed, carefully guide the
magazine slider 13 toward the front until the nail pusher is
over the last nail, thus pushing the nail strip in the magazine
completely to the front.
Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without
guiding it. Otherwise, the magazine slider could become
damaged, and there is danger of your fingers being caught or
pinched.
Operation
Actuation system
Single actuation with full sequence safety
With this actuation system, the safety yoke 2 must first
be firmly pressed against the workpiece. A fastener is not
discharged until the trigger 6 is pulled.
Afterwards, further discharging procedures can only be
actuated, when the trigger and the safety yoke have first been
set back to the starting position.

Starting Operation

Block the actuation system and remove the
battery before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or placing the power tool aside. This
safety measure prevents accidental starting of the
power tool.
Inserting the battery
• Use only original Rapid lithium-ion batteries with the voltage
listed on the nameplate of your power tool. Using other
batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
– Insert the charged battery 8 into the handle until it can be
felt to engage and faces flush against the handle.
Shooting Nails (see figure C)
– Firmly position the outlet 15 or the non-marking rubber
pad 1 on the workpiece until safety yoke 2 is pressed in
completely.
– Afterwards, briefly press trigger 6 and release again.
A nail is discharged.
– Allow the power tool to bounce back from the workpiece.
– For another driving procedure (shot), completely lift the
power tool from the workpiece and position it firmly at the
next desired location.
Blocking the Actuation System
Block the actuation system 5 before making any adjustments
on the power tool, changing accessories, placing the machine
aside for longer breaks or after finishing work.

Working Advice

Block the actuation system and remove the
battery before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or placing the power tool aside. This
safety measure prevents accidental starting of the
power tool.
Check the proper function of the safety and actuation devices,
and the tight seating of all screws and nuts each time before
using.
Disconnect a defective or not properly operating power
tool immediately from of the power supply and contact an
authorised service agent for Rapid power tools.
Do not perform any incorrect manipulations on the power tool.
Do not disassemble or block any components of the power
tool, such as the safety yoke.
Do not carry out "emergency repairs" with unsuitable means.
The power tool is to be maintained regularly and properly (see
"Maintenance and Cleaning").
Avoid any tampering and damage to the power tool, e. g. from:
– Imprinting or engraving,
– Retrofitting measures not approved by the manufacturer,
– Guiding along templates manufactured of hard material, e.
g. steel,
– Dropping on or sliding over the floor,
– Using as a hammer,
– Applying any kind of force.
Make sure to check whatever is below or behind your
workpiece. Do not shoot nails into walls, ceilings or floors,
when persons are behind them. The nails can burst through
the workpiece and injure someone.
Do not shoot a nail onto an already driven-in one. This could
cause the nail to deform, the nails could become jammed or
the power tool could move uncontrolled.
When the power tool is used under cold ambient conditions,
the first nails will be driven in slower than usual. Once the
power tool has warmed up during working, normal operating
speed will be regained.
Avoid blank shots in order to reduce the wear of the impact
striker.
For longer work breaks or after finishing work, block the
actuation system and empty the magazine if possible.
Emptying the Magazine (see figures D1–D2)
– With the nail pusher 14 pressed, pull the magazine slider
13 to the rear until the last nail is free; then carefully guide
the magazine slider toward the front to the beginning of the
magazine 12.
Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without
guiding it. Otherwise, the magazine slider could become
damaged, and there is danger of your fingers being caught or
pinched.
