3.2 Intended use
The product described is a gas-actuated fastening tool ("fastening tool"). It is designed to drive suitable
fasteners into concrete, steel, concrete-block masonry, sand-lime block, rendered masonry and other
materials suitable for use of the direct fastening technique.
Further details can be found in the Fastening Technology Manual copies of which can be obtained from a
Hilti Service Center or from the following address:
Internet: http://www.hilti.com
The fastening tool is designed for professional use in drywall construction, general construction work and in
various installation trades.
The fastening tool, gas can and fasteners form a technical unit. This means that trouble-free fastening with
this fastening tool can be ensured only when it is used together with the fasteners and gas cans specially
manufactured for it by Hilti. The fastening and application recommendations made by Hilti apply only when
this condition is observed.
This fastening tool may be used only hand held or in conjunction with the special "pole tool" extension
(accessory).

3.4 Fastener guide
The fastener guide holds the studs or, respectively, guides the nails and, when the tool is fired, thus directs the
fasteners into the supporting material at the desired position. Application-specific fastener guides (IF or ME)
are available for the GX 3 and GX 3-ME fastening tools (see type identification plate for exact designation).
3.5 Fasteners
Two types of fastener can be driven by the fastening tool: nails and threaded studs. Additional fastening
components, which can be inserted in the fastener guide, are also available for various applications.
3.6 Guidelines for use on concrete and steel
Information about national regulations, and the Fastening Technology Manual containing further informa-
tion, are available from the Hilti marketing organization responsible for your location.
The Fastening Technology Manual can also be obtained from:

3.7 Slider for fastener driving depth adjustment and for releasing the fastener guide
The slider can be used to reduce the depth to which the fastener is driven. In the EJECT position, it releases
the fastener guide for removal.
