Insert plug-in nipple (12).

6.2 Connect to compressed air line

Empty the magazine (15) to prevent fasteners from being ejected when connecting. (If, as a result of repair, maintenance work or transport, inte- rior parts of the stapler gun are not in initial position). Only connect to compressed air lines after you have ensured that it is not possible to exceed the permissible operating pressure by more than 10% (e.g. using pressure reducers). Only use quick-action couplings. Make the connection such that the unlockable plug-in nipple is fitted on the tool so that there is no more compressed air in the tool after disconnection. To benefit from the air tool's full performance, always use compressed air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. Tool performance can be significantly impaired if the inner diameter is too small. Caution. The compressed air line must not contain any water condensation. Caution. To preserve and extend the service life of this tool, you must ensure that it is regu- larly maintained with the pneumatic oil lubricator. You can do this as follows: – Use oiled compressed air by fitting an oil-fog lu- bricator. – Without an oil-fog lubricator: manually apply oil every day via the compressed air connection. Use approx. 3-5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator for each 15 minutes of continuous operation. If the tool has not been in use for several days, you should manually apply about 5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator into the compressed air connection.
