Frequently Asked Questions - TECN 18 Li EINHELL

How to charge the battery of the Einhell TECN 18 Li?

Remove the battery from the device by pressing the notched button. Plug the charger into a mains socket (corresponding voltage), then insert the battery into the charger. The green LED flashes during charging. When the green LED stays on, the battery is charged. Leave it for another 15 minutes for a complete slow charge.

What types of staples and nails can I use?

Use exclusively staples with width 5.7 mm, length 16 to 22 mm and thickness 1 mm, or nails with length 15 to 32 mm and thickness 1 mm. Never use other elements as this may damage the device.

How to load the staple or nail magazine?

First remove the battery. Hold the device away from yourself and others. Press the magazine release and pull the cover back until it stops. Place the staples on the upper edge pushing them forward, or the nails (point down) on the lower edge. Close the cover.

How to adjust the driving depth?

Use the depth adjustment ring (rotary knob) located on the device. Turn towards '+' to drive deeper, towards '-' for less depth. Test on a scrap piece of the same material before working on your final piece.

What to do if a staple or nail gets jammed?

Remove the battery. Open the magazine cover. Loosen the two screws of the outer and inner cover plates, then push them forward to remove. Remove the stuck staple or nail. Reassemble the plates in the correct order and tighten the screws.

How to clean the stapler?

Remove the battery before any cleaning. Use a damp cloth with a little mild soap. Do not use harsh products and avoid water penetrating inside the device. Blow out the ventilation slots with low pressure compressed air.

What safety precautions should be observed?

Always wear safety glasses and ear protection. Never point the nozzle at yourself or others. Before each use, check the trigger safety mechanism: it must move freely and return to its initial position. Do not use the device if it fires without contact with the workpiece.

How to use the trigger safety mechanism?

The device only operates if you press the nose of the stapler against the workpiece AND pull the trigger lever. If you release either, the shot does not occur. This prevents accidental firing. Check before each use that the mechanism returns to position properly.

What is the warranty period and how to activate it?

The warranty is 24 months from the date of purchase. To activate it, register the defective device on www.Einhell-Service.com with the proof of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing and material defects, but not normal wear or damage due to improper use.

Where can I find spare parts?

Order spare parts from Einhell after-sales service by specifying the device type, article number, identification number and part number. Information is available on www.Einhell-Service.com. Wear parts such as the battery, staples and nails are available separately.

The battery temperature is too high. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

6. Operation

6.1 Operation (Fig. 6)

Before starting your work, always check the level indicator (5) to see if the magazine contains staples/nails and ensure that the magazine cover (3) is closed properly.

Important!

To determine the desired and optimum penetration depth for the staples and nails, use a test workpiece which is similar in structure and material thickness to the workpieces to be joined.

6.2 Triggering shots (Fig. 1)

The built-in trigger locks prevent the cordless nailer from being triggered accidentally. Triggering is therefore only possible by pressing the stapler head (6) of the cordless nailer against the material and operating the trigger (1).

To staple/nail, place the stapler head (6) of the cordless stapler/nailer against the workpiece. Pull back the trigger (1) once and release it again after each shot.

If the nail or staple goes in too deep or not deep enough, the penetration depth can be adjusted by the depth setting (Fig. 1/Item 9) (see section 6.4)

6.3 Jammed staples/nails (Fig. 11-12)

If a staple/nail becomes jammed in the equipment, proceed as follows:

• Remove the battery from the equipment.
  Open the magazine cover (3)
• Undo the two screws for the cover plates (7 + 8) as shown in Fig. 11.
• Push the cover plates (7 + 8) forward as far as they will go. Then you can lift the two cover plates up and out.
• Remove the jammed staple/nail
• Fit the cover plates back in place again. Check that they are fitted back in place in the right direction and sequence.
• Tighten the cover plate (7) again.

6.4 Depth setting (Fig. 10)

The equipment has a depth setting adjuster (Fig. 10/Item 9) in the form of a rotary knob. If you screw it in the (+) direction, 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 rotary knob in the "--" direction.

Important!

Use test workpieces.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
