DeWalt DMF1550-XJ Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

Note: Because it is a manual tool, sufficient force is
required when using this tool to completely drive flush
a single fastener with one strike of the hammer. Do not
use the hammer twice on the same fastener, unless the
ratcheting mode is engaged.
Note: Never hit the plunger with the metal face of the
hammer as the plunger may be damaged and cause injury.
LOADING THE TOOL (Fig. 4)
1. Release the pusher spring clip and remove pusher
blade. (fig 4A)
2. Load fasteners into guide channel.
3. Insert rounded end of pusher blade into channel to
retain fasteners.
4. Latch pusher spring clip to notched end of pusher
blade. Ensure sufficient engagement of pusher blade for
smooth fastener feeding. (fig 4B)
Note: Use only fasteners recommended by D
use in D WALT tools or fasteners that meet D
e
specifications.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Pusher spring (constant force spring). Caution
must be used when working with the
spring assembly. The spring is wrapped around, but not
attached to, a roller. If the spring is extended beyond its
length, the end will come off the roller and the spring will
roll up with a snap, with a chance of pinching your hand.
Also, the edges of the spring are very thin and could cut.
Care must also be taken to insure no permanent kinks are
put in the spring as this will reduce the spring's force.
Note: Only spare parts specified by D
used in any tool maintenance.
MALLET MAINTENANCE
Over time the rubber face on the mallet may became
worn, cracked, or chipped. These are signs that a new
rubber face will need to be installed.
To remove old rubber face:
1. Secure the rubber face in a bench vice. (Fig 5)
2. Pull upward on the handle till the rubber face is
released from the steel stud.
To install a new rubber face on the mallet, we recommend
doing it in the shop with the use of an arbor press. If you
must do it manually follow these instructions.
1. Secure the mallet head in a bench vice. (Fig 6)
2. Put the rubber cap slightly inclined on top of the steel
3. Once fully engaged over the edge, you can release
