! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery effi ciency
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• Loading staples/nails 7
- turn tool upside down
- press lever B while pulling slider C backwards
- insert the staple/nail strip into magazine D with legs
facing upward (maximal capacity 70 staples/nails)
- push slider C against tacker head E until it snap-
locks
- when inserting a nail strip (not supplied with the tool)
tilt the tool in such a way, that the nail strip rests
against the magazine side which corresponds with
the nail symbol on tacker head E 8
• Operating the tool 9
- fi rmly press tacker head E against the workpiece until
it is pushed in a few millimetres
- green light F will turn on indicating that the tool is
ready to staple
- briefl y press switch G and then release again
- switch G is locked as long as you do not press tacker
head E against the workpiece and green light F does
not turn on, thus preventing accidental operation
! remove all staples/nails from the magazine after
each use
• Impact control 0
With wheel H the required impact level can be selected
in steps
- indicator J shows the selected impact level
- "Min." for thin and light materials such as foils and
fabrics
- "Max." for thick and tough materials such as hard
woods and walls
- before starting a job, fi nd the optimal impact level by
testing out on spare material
! set the impact level to "Min." after each use in
order to relieve the tension spring
• Extra staple storage !
APPLICATION ADVICE

• Do not use the tool for fastening ceiling panelling on
profi led wood or grooves
• Fixing textiles #
• Avoid blank shots in order to reduce the wear of the
impact strike
