6. Operation
6.1 Before using the tool for the first time
Insert plug-in nipple (12).
6.2 Connect to compressed air line
Empty the magazine (15) to prevent fasteners
from being ejected when connecting. (If, as a
result of repair, maintenance work or transport, inte-
rior parts of the stapler gun are not in initial position).
Only connect to compressed air lines after you
have ensured that it is not possible to exceed
the permissible operating pressure by more than
10% (e.g. using pressure reducers).
Only use quick-action couplings. Make the
connection such that the unlockable plug-in
nipple is fitted on the tool so that there is no more
compressed air in the tool after disconnection.
To benefit from the air tool's full performance,
always use compressed air hoses with an inner
diameter of at least 9 mm. Tool performance can be
significantly impaired if the inner diameter is too
small.
Caution. The compressed air line must not
contain any water condensation.
Caution. To preserve and extend the service
life of this tool, you must ensure that it is regu-
larly maintained with the pneumatic oil lubricator.
You can do this as follows:
– Use oiled compressed air by fitting an oil-fog lu-
bricator.
– Without an oil-fog lubricator: manually apply oil
every day via the compressed air connection.
Use approx. 3-5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator
for each 15 minutes of continuous operation.
If the tool has not been in use for several days, you
should manually apply about 5 drops of pneumatic
oil lubricator into the compressed air connection.

Filling the magazine

To fill the magazine (15), hold the device so
that the opening (2) is not directed at your own
body or other persons.
To fill the magazine (15), hold the device so
that the opening (2) is not directed at your own
body or other persons.
See illustration in the operating instructions.
- Actuate the locking lever (13) (depending on
features) and then...
- pull back the magazine slider (14).
- Insert fasteners that are suitable for the tool (see
Section 8. and 11.) in the magazine.
- Push in magazine slider (14) (until it engages at
locking lever (13) (depending on features)).
6.4 Setting / using the pneumatic tool
Do not leave your finger on the trigger
when the tool is picked up, moved
between work areas and positions, or
when walking, as leaving your finger on
the trigger could lead to unintended oper-
ation.
Caution. Avoid empty shots - do not
actuate with empty magazine.
1. Turn the exhaust air aperture (6) (depending on
features) into the desired position.
2. For sensitive workpiece surfaces, fit the
protective cap (1).
3. Connect the air tool to the compressed air
supply (see Section 6.2).
4. Fill magazine (15) (see Section 6.3).
5. Set the air pressure initially to the smallest
value for the recommended operating pressure.
6. Press the mouth (2) of the stapler onto the
workpiece and actuate the trigger (9) (see
Section 6.5).
7. Increase or reduce operating pressure in steps
of 0.5 bar until the desired fastening result is
achieved.
The stapler should be operated with lowest
possible operating pressure. (This saves
energy, reduces the noise level and wear)
Ensure that the maximum operating pressure
is not exceeded.
8. For fine adjustment, the insertion depth can be
adjusted at the insertion depth control (7)
(depending on features).
9. If fasteners become jammed, disconnect the
tool from the compressed air supply, actuate
the lever (4) to open the service port (9) and
remove the defective fastener.
10.Before long pauses or at the end of work,
disconnect the tool from the compressed air
source and empty the magazine.
6.5 Actuating the air tool
Important: DKG 80/16 work without a trigger
safety lock. Use your middle finger to unlock
the tool at the unlocking lever (16); only then can the
shot be triggered with the forefinger on the trigger
(9).
The other stapler guns (all except for DKG 80/
16) are equipped with a trigger safety lock (3)
and identified by an equilateral triangle on its tip.
The trigger safety lock only permits work when the
lock (3) is pressed on the fastening point and the
trigger (9) is actuated. These tools must only be
used with a functioning trigger safety catch.
If a tool is defective or not functioning
perfectly, disconnect it from the compressed
