On compressed air systems with higher pressure, a pressure
regulating valve (pressure reducer) with a downstream pressure
relief valve must be installed in the compressed air line.
The compressed air must be filtered, dry and lubricated with
PREBENA special nailer oil.
At the outlets for the compressed air line to the tacker, a
compressed air maintenance unit must be installed on the
coupling side. It should contain
- a filter,
- a water separator and
- an oiler.
If no oiler is installed, the length of the air line to the tacker must
not exceed 10 m. Otherwise three to five drops of PREBENA
special nailer oil must be filled directly into the air inlet of the
tacker every day prior to use.
The compressed air system must be able to maintain operating
pressure even during the desired air removal.
The inside diameter of the air line must be at least 6 mm.
The connection for the tacker must be fitted with a quick-action
coupling, ID 7.2 and have an inside diameter of at least 6.5 mm.

To check correct operation of the tacker, proceed as follows:
Set the tool lug of the tacker on a piece of wood with a minimum
thickness of 20 mm.
Trigger the tacker (see chapter "Triggering device" on page 21).
Check the following properties:
- Every time the device is triggered, a fastener must be driven
into the piece of wood.
- To achieve the desired driving depth, alter the operating
pressure of the compressor (see page 15).
Repeat these steps if necessary.
The tacker is not ready for operation.
18
Operating the tacker
Adjust the operating pressure so that the desired driving depth
is just reached. This offers the following advantages:
You save energy (compressed air),
You reduce the noise level, and
You reduce the wear on the tacker.
Operating the tacker
Regulating the driving depth via operating pressure
The driving depth of the fastener in the material can be set by
regulating the operating pressure. At a high operating pressure, the
fasteners are driven in deeper and not so deep at a lower operating
pressure.
To adjust the operating pressure, proceed as follows:
Hold the tacker so that the tool lug faces down.
Adjust the pressure at the pressure regulator of the compressor.
Observe the pressure display of the compressor.
Check driving depth
Press the tool lug onto a sample wooden workpiece with the
same properties as the material to be worked on.
Check the setting by triggering once on the sample material.
Repeat these steps until the desired driving depth is set.
19

too far or due to kickback.
Only use the tacker for wooden objects.
Ensure that the driving depth is not set deeper than the
thickness of the piece of wood.
When triggering, press the tacker firmly against the wood
Driving in fasteners
When fasteners are driven into workpieces that are too hard, or into
other fasteners, a powerful kickback is generated. This can cause
the tacker to slip off.
20
Operating the tacker
The driving depth of the fasteners depends on the hardness and
thickness of the wooden workpiece and the set operating pressure.
Ensure that there are no persons behind the workpiece.
Then check the operation of the tacker at a low operating
pressure by triggering it once.
Regulate the operating pressure according to the resistance of
the wood used.
The correct operating pressure is set when the desired driving depth
of the fasteners is achieved at the lowest possible pressure.
Triggering the tacker
To trigger the tacker once, proceed as follows:
Place the tool lug of the tacker on the wooden workpiece.
Press the trigger (9).
A fastener is driven into the wood.
