1. Safety regulations

Danger! Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any errors made in following the safety regula- tions and instructions may result in an electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use. Protect yourself and your environment from ac- cidents by taking the appropriate precautionary measures.

Do not use the stapler for a purpose for which it is not designed.

Keep air tools safe from children.

Never use the equipment when you are not rested or distracted.

Connect the compressed air using a quick- lock coupling only.

Staplers may only be connected to lines/ hoses which do not allow the maximum permitted pressure of the equipment to be exceeded by more than 10%. A pressure re- gulator (pressure reducer) with a downstream pressure control valve must be fitted to the compressed air hose if the pressure is higher.

The operating pressure must be adjusted by a pressure reducer.

When using a pneumatically operated stap- ler/nailer, only use the pressure required for the specific operation to prevent an unneces- sarily high noise level, excessive wear and consequential faults.

Never use oxygen or combustible gases as a power source. Danger of fire and explosion.

Always disconnect the equipment from the compressed air source before tackling faults or starting any maintenance work.

Use only genuine spare parts. Repairs may only be carried out by an authorized agent of the manufacturer or by an alternative spe- cialist in accordance with the specifications contained in the operating instructions.

Wear the necessary protective clothing when working with the stapler, in particular safety goggles and protective gloves.

Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 8 bar.

Do not direct the connected and loaded nailer at other people.

Do not remove the earthing contact device.

Never leave the equipment unattended when loaded.

Never use the equipment if defective.

The equipment must always be depressu- rized after disconnection.

Never use the equipment without staples/ nails.

Never point an operational stapler directly at yourself or at any other person.

Whilst working with the stapler, hold it in such a way that your head and body cannot be injured in case of kickback caused by disrup- tion of the power supply or by hard areas of the workpiece.

Never trigger the stapler into the open air. This is important to avoid the hazards of free-flying staples and of overloading the appliance.

For the purposes of transportation, the stapler must be disconnected from the compressed- air system, especially if you are using a lad- der or are adopting an unusual posture.

In the workplace, carry the stapler only by its handle and ensure that the trigger is inacti- vated.

Make allowance for the workplace conditions. Staples can potentially go straight through thin workpieces or they can slide off workpi- eces when working on corners and edges, thus putting persons at risk.

For you own personal safety, always use suitable protective equipment such as, for example, hearing and eye protection.

Check that the trigger catch functions correct- ly every time before you use the equipment. You are allowed to start using the equipment only if the device functions perfectly. Anl_DTA_25_2_SPK7.indb 17Anl_DTA_25_2_SPK7.indb 17 24.11.2016 13:14:0624.11.2016 13:14:06GB

uncertainty ..........................................2.5 dB Wear ear-muff s. The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing. Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with ISO 8662-11-1999, EN 12096. Vibration emission value ah = 2.5 m/s

K uncertainty = 26.8% These values for noise emissions are equipment- based characteristic values and do not refl ect the noise generated at the place of use. The noise generated at the place of use will depend, for example, on the work area, the workpiece, work- piece support and the number of stapling/nailing operations. The value given for vibration is an equipment- based characteristic value and does not repre- sent the impact on the hand and arm system when the equipment is used. The impact on the hand and arm system when the equipment is used will depend, for example, on the force of the grip, the pressing force, the direction in which you are working, the air pressure setting, the workpie- ce and the workpiece support. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

5.1 Checking the trigger catch

Check the trigger catch (Fig. 1/Item H) each time before use. The trigger catch must move freely without catching. The spring on the trigger catch must return the trigger catch to the released initial position. Never use the equipment if the trigger catch is not working.

1. Disconnect the equipment from the air supply.

2. Remove the staples/nails from the magazine

3. Check that the trigger and the trigger catch

can move up and down freely.

4. Connect the equipment to the air supply.

5. Press the trigger catch against the workpiece

without pressing the trigger. The equipment should not operate. Never use the equip- ment if it operates without the trigger being pressed. Risk of injury.

6. Remove the equipment from the workpiece.

The trigger catch must return to the released initial position. Press the trigger. The equip- ment should not operate. Never use the equipment if it operates. Risk of injury.

7. Press the trigger and press the trigger catch

against the workpiece. The equipment opera- tes.

8. Press the trigger catch against the workpiece

and press the trigger; the equipment opera- tes.

5.2 Loading staples and nails

When you fill the magazine (Fig. 1/Item E), make sure that you hold the equipment in such a way that the muzzle is pointed neither at you or anyone else.

To fill the magazine, press the magazine lever (Fig. 1 / Item C) and slide back the magazine cover (Fig. 1 / Item D) as far as it will go.

Insert the staples as shown in (Fig. 3) or the nails as shown in (Fig. 4).

Do not insert more than one complete stick of staples/nails, otherwise the magazine will be overfilled and you will not be able to close it again. Slide the magazine cover forward again until it snaps into place.

The level indicator (Fig. 5 / Item F) shows the number of loaded staples / nails if less than 50 are loaded.

6.1 Operation/Operating pressure

Connect the pneumatic stapler/nailer to the compressed air connection (Fig. 1 / Item B).

Before starting the stapler, switch on the com- pressor and set the operating pressure on the pressure reducer to 4 bar.

The knurled screw (Fig. 6 / Item G) for precis- ion adjustment must be approximately in the middle position between Item 1 and 2. To do so, turn open the knurled screw three revolu- tions, starting from Position 1.

For the purpose of setting the operating pressure it is advisable to use a test workpi- ece which is similar in structure and material thickness to the workpieces to be joined.

To staple/nail, place the pneumatic stapler/ nailer against the workpiece and pull the trig- ger lever (Fig. 1 / Item A) once and release it again after each shot.

If the nail or the staple goes in too deep, re- duce the operating pressure on the pressure reducer by 0.5 bar.

If the nail or the staple does not go in deep enough or projects, increase the operating pressure on the pressure reducer by 0.5 bar.

Place the stapler/nailer against the test work- piece again and fire.

Depending on results, keep changing the operating pressure in 0.5 bar increments until the depth that the staples or nails are driven in is roughly correct. For precision adjustment (Para. 6.2), use the knurled screw.

The equipment also has an automatic mode. If you keep the trigger lever pressed, the stap- les/nails will be shot automatically when the pneumatic stapler/nailer is placed against the workpiece.

Important: If a staple or nail becomes jammed in the feed shaft, always immediately depressurize the equipment fi rst (remove the compressed air supply hose), open the magazine shaft and only then remove the cover plates (Fig. 8 / Item I/J) by undoing the screws with the supplied Allen keys (Fig. 2 / Item N) (Fig. 7 / 8). Remove the jammed staples, clean the shaft if necessary, and close again in reverse order.

6.2 Precision adjustment

The equipment has a depth setting adjuster (Fig. 6 / Item G) in the form of a knurled screw.

If you screw it downwards (Fig. 6 / Item 1), the staples/nails will be shot in deeper.

If you want to reduce the depth that the stap- les/nails are shot in, you have to screw the knurled screw upwards (Fig. 6 / Item 2). Important: To prevent triggering unintentionally, the depth setting must never be pulled back by hand in normal operation.

7. Replacing the power cable

Important: Disconnect the equipment from the compressed air system each time before starting to carry out maintenance and cleaning work. Compliance with the maintenance instructions gi- ven here will ensure that this quality product has a long service life and off ers failure-free operation. Before starting work each time, check that the magazine is securely fastened (Fig. 1/Item E). Clean the equipment thoroughly immediately after you have fi nished the work. To ensure that your stapler off ers lasting perfect service, it requires regular lubrication. Use only special tool oil for this purpose. There are two possible means of lubrication:

A complete conditioning unit contains a mist oiler and is fi tted to the compressor.

If your system has neither a conditioning unit or a line oiler, 3-5 drops of oil have to be applied to the compressed air connection each time before the air tool is started up. If the air tool is not used for several days, apply 5-10 drops of oil to the com- pressed air connection before switching on. Store your air tool in a dry room only.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
