Important. When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating manual with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety information.

CAUTION Read all the safety regulations and instructions. Any errors made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use. Protect yourself and your environment from accidents 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 regulator (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 stapler/nailer, only use the pressure required for the specific operation to prevent an unnecessarily 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 specialist 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. Only use the types of staples/nails specified in the technical data. The equipment must always be depressurized 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 disruption 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 ladder or are adopting an unusual posture. In the workplace, carry the stapler only by its handle and ensure that the trigger is inactivated. Make allowance for the workplace conditions. Staples can potentially go straight through thin workpieces or they can slide off workpieces 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 correctly every time before you use the equipment. You are allowed to start using the equipment only if the device functions perfectly. This equipment is not suitable for the following work: If changing from one stapling point to another involves moving about on platforms, steps, ladders or any other structures similar to ladders such as, e.g. roof battens. Sealing of boxes or crates. Fitting of transportation braces, e.g. to vehicles and wagons Do not lose this safety information. Anleitung_DTA_25_2_SPK7:_ 07.09.2011 13:33 Uhr Seite 1112

6.3 Operation/Operating pressure

Connect the pneumatic stapler/nailer to the compressed air connection (Fig. 1 / Item B). Set the swivel air outlet (Fig. 1 / Item K) to the desired position. Before starting the stapler, switch on the compressor and set the operating pressure on the pressure reducer to 4 bar. The knurled screw (Fig. 6 / Item G) for precision adjustment must be approximately in the middle position between Item 1 and 2. To do so, turn open the knurled screw three revolutions, starting from Position 1. For the purpose of setting the operating pressure it is advisable to use a test workpiece 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 trigger lever (Fig. 1 / Item A) once and release it again after each shot. If the nail or the staple goes in too deep, reduce 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 workpiece 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. 7.4), use the knurled screw. The equipment also has an automatic mode. If you keep the trigger lever pressed, the staples/nails will be shot automatically when the pneumatic stapler/nailer is placed against the workpiece. To prevent faults, make sure that you do not staple at the same point twice. Important: If a staple or nail becomes jammed in the feed shaft, always immediately depressurize the equipment first (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.

6.4 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 staples/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. Care and maintenance

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 given here will ensure that this quality product has a long service life and offers 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 finished the work. To ensure that your stapler offers lasting perfect service, it requires regular lubrication. Use the supplied oil (Fig. 2 / Item M) for this purpose. There are two possible means of lubrication:

A complete conditioning unit contains a mist oiler and is fitted 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 compressed air connection before switching on. Store your air tool in a dry room only.
