Introduction

For your safety

Please make sure that you familiarise yourself fully with the way the product works before you use it for the first

time and that you understand how properly to handle electrical power tools. Further details can be found in the operating instructions. In addition to the above, you must also strictly observe the general safety advice contained in the accompanying booklet. Use the product only as described and for the indicated purposes. Keep these instructions in a safe place. If you pass the product on to anyone else, please ensure that you also pass on all the documentation.

Proper use

The electric tacker is suitable for domestic use only and is intended exclusively for stapling cardboard, insulation, leather, cloth (textile or natural fibres) or similar materials on to hardwood, softwood, chipboard or similar plywood-type materials. The required power supply is a 230V 50Hz mains circuit (fitted with a maximum 16A fuse or trip). The device is suitable for use in dry rooms only. Any improper use gives rise to serious danger of accident and invalidates the guarantee.

Safety

Specific safety advice for this tool

Ensure that the tool is always used in accordance with the operating instructions and only by persons over 18 years of age.

Keep children away from the tool.
Store the tool indoors in an enclosed, dry place where it cannot be

reached by children.

To avoid danger to life from electric shock:

Frequently check the condition of the tool, mains lead and plug. Do not use the tool if these types

of parts are damaged. Never open up the tool. Always have any repairs carried out or replacement parts fitted at the service centre or by an electrical equipment repair specialist.

A damaged tool, mains lead or plug presents a serious danger to life from electric shock.

Check before connecting the tool to the mains that the electricity supply circuit is 230V 50Hz and is fitted with a max. 16 amp fuse or trip. Otherwise there is a danger to life from electric shock.
- Disconnect the mains lead from the mains supply ⑨ in the event of malfunction, fault rectification, maintenance or cleaning.
Only use the tool if the mains lead ⑨ is undamaged. A damaged mains lead presents a danger to life from electric shock. Have repairs to the mains lead carried out only by an electrician or at the relevant service centre.
Always guide the mains lead 9 away from behind the hand grip ① to the rear of the tool.
Do not use the tool to fix electrical cabling in place.

Attention! To avoid the risk of injury!

Ensure that staples and nails cannot strike people or animals.

Protect your eyes. Wear protective glasses. This also applies to people who may be helping with the work by supporting or holding the workpiece.
Before you start to use the tool, check that it is in perfect condition.
Make sure the tool is switched off before you load the magazine ⑤. To do this set the On/off switch ⑧ to position "0".

To work safely!

Before undertaking any type of work with the tacker make sure that materials and workpieces are safely held in position. If necessary have a second person on hand to support or hold the items steady. Protect the tool from moisture.
Do not use the tool on moist or wet materials.
If you have finished using the tool or are taking a prolonged break from your work disconnect the mains lead ⑨ from the mains.

Operation

Loading the magazine

Use only fine wire staples (type 53), narrow-backed staples (type 55) or nails (type 47)!

Press the magazine slider ⑦ in the direction of the magazine ⑤ and guide it upwards.
Pull the magazine slider ⑦ completely out of the magazine ⑤
□ If necessary remove any staples or nails of the wrong type from the magazine ⑤.
- Slide the correct staples or nails into the magazine ⑤.
Look at the depiction on the magazine slider ⑦ for how to insert the staples or nails correctly.
Push the magazine slider ⑦ into the magazine ⑤ until it meets the stop.
Then press the magazine slider ⑦ downwards until it has definitely engaged.

Setting the impact force

① A tip!

Select the lowest impact force required for stapling.
You can set the impact force at any value between "1" (lowest impact force) and "7" (highest impact force) using the impact force controller ⑥.

Switching on and off

Attention!

Connect the tool to the mains only when it is switched off. To do this set the On/off switch ⑨ to position "0".

To switch on

Set the On/off switch ⑧ to position "1" (see Fig. A).

To switch off

Set the On/off switch ⑧ to position "0".

Blow count: 30/min

The Electric Tacker PET 23 VARIO is designed for 30 blows per minute.

Continuous Operating Time: KB max. 15 min

The Electric Tacker PET 23 VARIO is designed for 15 minutes of continuous operation at the maximum blow count. Allow the appliance to cool down sufficiently after such a tasking.

Stapling

Switch on the tool.
Press the nose ④ on the spot where you wish to staple.
Press the trigger ②.
Adjust the impact force to suit the materials, staples or nails.

Redriving:

Use this function if you discover that some alreadydriven staples or nails have not ended up flush in

a particularly hard substrate. Redriving must be carried out directly at each staple or nail. If you do not lift the nose ④ when doing this then no further staple or nail will be loaded into the driving position.

Drive the required staple or nail and press the nose piece ④ once more on to the next rediving position.
Press the trigger ② as often as necessary until the staple or nail is flush with the substrate.

Examples of use:

Fastening a covering to the seat of a chair (see Fig. B).
Fixing a skirting at the joint between the wall and floor covering (see Fig. C).
Stretching and stapling a canvas to a frame (see Fig. D).
□ Attaching a protective film to insulation material when installing thermal insulation (see Fig. E).
□ Attaching fixings for components in a wall cladding system (see Fig. F).

Tool storage

If you are not going to use the tool for a while disconnect the mains lead ⑨ from the mains.
- Keep the tool safe from unauthorised use.
- Keep staples and nails in secure containers.

Rectifying faults

Attention!

If you are going to rectify faults disconnect the mains lead ⑨ from the mains.

The tool is defective.
Contact the service centre (see guarantee documentation).

■ Maintenance and cleaning

Attention!

Before carrying out maintenance or cleaning disconnect the mains lead ⑨ from the mains supply.

The electric tacker is designed to be maintenance-free.

Disposal

The packaging is wholly composed of environmentally-friendly materials that can be disposed of at a local recycling centre.

Do not dispose of electrical tools with the household rubbish!

In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC about waste electrical and electronic equipment and its transposition into national legislation, worn out electric tools must be collected separately and taken for environmentally compatible recycling.

Contact your local refuse disposal authority for more details of how to dispose of your worn out electrical tools.

Information

Servicing

The service centre for your country is shown in the guarantee documentation.

Attention!

Through poor conditions of the electrical MAINS, shortly voltage drops can appear when starting the EQUIPMENT. This can influence other equipment (eg. Blinking of a lamp). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax < 0.381 OHM, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of need, you may contact you local supply authority for further information.)
