Hammer-force Preselection
With the thumbwheel for hammer-force prese-
lection 2, it is possible to preselect the required
hammer force in steps.
The required hammer force depends on the
length of the staples or nails, and on the
strength of the material. The optimal hammer-
force setting is best determined through practi-
cal testing.
The data in the following table are recommend-
ed values.
When operating with two staples (Duotac func-
tion), the hammer-force preselection must be
set approx. one level higher with the thum-
bwheel 2.
