Safety
Observe and follow all the warnings and instructions in these operating instructions and those on the Slider
when using the Slider. The enclosed spare parts list and declaration of conformity are an integral part of
these operating instructions.
Correct use
The path-controlled tackers – Slider 4C and Slider 5C – are used to drive fasteners into panel-like building
materials such as wooden panels, gypsum fibreboard and OSB boards in order to fit them to wooden frames.
Sliders may only be used on other materials after consultation with the manufacturer.
Correct use also includes complying with the health and safety regulations, legal regulations and/or
standards applicable at the site of use. Any other type of use shall not be deemed correct use and may lead
to damage to property or even injury to persons.
Improper use
Improper use refers, in particular, to operation
by persons without any knowledge of how to use the Slider,
of the Slider with its safety devices overridden,
of Sliders modified without the authorisation of the manufacturer,
with accessories other than those stipulated in these operating instructions for use,
connected to compressed air sources not listed in these operating instructions for use,
when the work involves movements across scaffolding, stairs, ladders or ladder-type structures,
involving closing boxes or crates or attaching transport securing equipment.
PREBENA Wilfried Bornemann GmbH & Co. KG accepts no liability for any damage resulting from
improper use.
Avoiding the risk of fatal injuries
During the triggering sequence and whenever the Slider is connected to the air supply, ensure that no
body parts are near the opening.
Ensure that the fasteners are not driven into power cables.
Never direct the Slider at people, animals or their body parts.
Disconnect the tacker from the compressed air supply before handing it over to other persons.
Do not allow children to play with packaging films – these pose a risk of suffocation.
Preventing the risk of explosion
Do not use the Slider in potentially explosive areas.
Never operate the Slider with oxygen or other explosive gases or gas mixtures.
Only operate the Slider on suitable compressed air systems (see page 12).
Only use the Slider if it is in perfect working order (see page 11).

Tool overview and scope of delivery
How it works
The Slider is a special tool for optimum guidance of pneumatic tackers. It makes working quicker, more
comfortable and accurate. The tacker integrated into the Slider can be moved over the entire surface to be
worked on, e.g. plasterboard, gypsum fibreboard or other wood-based panels, without a great deal of effort.
The Slider can be automatically triggered at any time with a single shot for fixing panels or path-controlled in
four easily adjustable staple distances of 40 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm or 110 mm. The Slider comprises two
trigger levers on both of the handles at the side of the tool (each with a trigger button for single shot and a
continuous operation trigger lever), which also makes it suitable for two-man operation. A guide sight slot (Vnotch sight) on both sides and an adjustable parallel guide with a rule up to 140 mm enable the operator to
aim easily and keep on track. As standard, the tool comes with an empty shot safety device, adjustable
exhaust hood and a safety castor on the bottom of the tool which keeps it away from the material prior to
triggering. A carrying handle makes it easy to transport. No electrical connection is required since the Slider
is only controlled pneumatically or mechanically. The Slider is also designed to comply with the 30° staple
angle required in Eurocode 5.

Driving in fasteners
WARNING
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
Before triggering the Slider, ensure that no power cables can be struck.
WARNING
During operation, injuries to the eyes and other body parts are possible due to
flying splinters.
Wear suitable safety goggles and suitable protective clothing during
operation.
Observe the valid health and safety regulations.
WARNING
Loud operating noises can cause damage to hearing.
Wear suitable ear protection.
Observe the valid noise protection regulations.
Select the lowest possible operating pressure.
WARNING
Risk of injury when fasteners slide off or are driven in too far, or due to
kickback.
Never trigger the Slider in the open. This avoids the risk of any flying
fasteners and of overloading the Slider.
Take note of the workplace dimensions. The Slider may penetrate thin
workpieces or slip off workpieces when working on corners and edges.
Ensure that the driving depth is not set deeper than the thickness of the
piece of wood.
When fasteners are driven into workpieces that are too hard, or into other fasteners, a powerful kickback is
generated. This can cause the Slider to slip off or jump.
The driving depth of the fasteners depends on the hardness and thickness of the piece of wood, the set
operating pressure and the spacer plates fitted.
Ensure that there are no persons behind the piece of wood.
Then check the function of the tacker at a low operating pressure by triggering it once.
Regulate the operating pressure according to the strength of the wood used.
The correct operating pressure is set when the required driving depth of the fasteners is achieved at the
lowest possible pressure.
19
This function is used to fix the workpiece to corners, for example.
WARNING
Risk of injury when operating the Slider at workpiece edges.
Ensure that there is enough distance between the opening and the edge of the
workpiece.
Ensure that the Slider is in perfect condition.
Ensure that the Slider is guided in a straight line over the workpiece.

Accidental triggering when emptying the magazine can lead to serious or
even fatal injuries.
Disconnect the Slider from the compressed air supply.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing from spring-loaded pusher.
Take hold of the pusher and slowly let it slide forwards.
After operation, or during long periods when the tool is not in use, perform the steps described below.
Disconnecting the compressed air supply
Pull the quick coupler of the compressed air hose away from the handle.
The quick coupler is now released.
Remove the compressed air hose from the connection on the Slider.
The compressed air contained in the Slider escapes audibly.

Emptying the magazine
The magazine is never fully emptied due to the empty shot safety device. For this reason, you must remove
the fasteners which have not been used from the magazine if you will no longer be using the tacker.
To do so, proceed as follows:
Disconnect the Slider from the compressed air supply.
Pull the pusher (22) back until it audibly locks into place at the detent pin (21).
Remove the fasteners from the magazine by pulling them back and up.
Take hold of the pusher (22).
Release the pusher (22) by applying pressure to the detent pin (21).
Slowly let the pusher slide forwards slightly.
When the pusher reaches the front stop of the magazine, release the pusher.
Set down the Slider and secure it so that it cannot inadvertently roll away.
