IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

The European Standard EN 792-13 has established certain safety requirements
for hand-help non-electric fastener driving tools and it requires the respective
instructions to be part of the tool operating manual. In your own interest, we urge
you to follow such safety requirements without exception.
SPIT Fastener driving tools operated by internal combustion shall only be used
with dispensers for combustible gas which are listed in the SPIT operating
instruction (Item 7.2.5a). For the SPIT Pulsa tool, this means the use of SPIT
specified Pulsa Fuel Cells.
Only those fasteners listed in the SPIT operating instruction may be used in the SPIT
fastener driving tool (Item 7.2.1a). The fastener driving tool and the fastener listed
in the operating instruction must be seen as one unit system in terms of safety.
Only the fuel cells and lubricants listed in the SPIT operating instruction may be
may be used (Item 7.2.1b).
For the maintenance of SPIT fastener driving tools, only spare parts specified by
the manufacturer or his authorized representative shall be used (Item 7.2.1e).

Fuel cell The fuel cell must be used at temperatures

between -5° and +49°C. At the beginning of each
cycle, a dose of gas is injected into the combustion
chamber.

The fuel cell has an internal reservoir and an external
housing.

In the internal reservoir, the fuel is kept under pressure by a
propellant.

When the fuel cell is empty, a small amount of propellant
remains in the external chamber.

For reasons of safety and operation of the unit, it is

imperative that only genuine SPIT fuel cells and nails be
used.

SPIT nails Only use SPIT nails with this tool
