The tool shall be disconnected from
the compressed air system for the
purpose of transportation, especially
where ladders are used or where an
unusual physical posture is adopted
whilst moving.
Carry the fastener driving tool at the
workplace using only the handle,
and never with the trigger actuated.
Take conditions at the workplace
into account. Fasteners can pen-
etrate thin workpieces or slip off
corners and edges of workpieces,
and thus put people at risk.
For personal safety, use protective
equipment such as hearing and eye
protection.
The trigger and the safety yoke have
to be actuated for each driving op-
eration, with the order of actuation
not being specified. For repeated
driving operations, it is sufficient if
either the trigger remains activated
and the safety yoke is activated
thereafter, or vice versa.
Avoid triggering the tool if the maga-
zine is empty.
Any defective or improperly func-
tioning 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 it is recom-
mended to empty the magazine.
The compressed air connectors of
the tool and the hoses should be
protected against contamination.
The ingress of coarse dust, chips,
sand etc. will result in leaks and
damage to the tool and the cou-
plings.
COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
The tool shall not be connected to
pressure which potentially exceeds
recommended operating pressure
by 10%. (Figure 11)
In the case of higher pressures,
a pressure reducing valve which
includes a downstream safety valve
shall be built into the compressed
air supply.
Use only clean, dry regulated com-
pressed air at recommended pres-
sure.
Connect the tool to the compressed
air supply using suitable pressure
hose equipped with quick-action
connectors.
The compressor plant shall be
adequately dimensioned in terms of
pressure output and performance
(volumetric flow) for the consump-
tion which is to be expected.
Line sections which are too small
in relation to the length of the line
(pipes and hoses), as well as over-
loading the compressor, will result in
pressure drops.
Easily accessible water separators
should be installed at the lowest
points.
Connecting points for the tools
should be fitted with a compressed
air servicing unit (filter/water sep-
arator/oiler) directly at the junction
point.
Oilers must be checked on a daily
basis and if necessary topped up
with the recommended grade of oil
(see technical specification).
Where hose lengths of over 10 m
are used, the oil supply for the tool
