7. Press the mouth (2) of the stapler onto the
workpiece and actuate the trigger (9) (see Sec-
tion 6.5).
8. 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.
9. For fine adjustment, the insertion depth can be
adjusted at the insertion depth control (7) (de-
pending on features).
10.If fasteners become jammed, disconnect the
tool from the compressed air supply, actuate
the lever (4) to open the service port (9) and re-
move the defective fastener.
11.Before long pauses or at the end of work, dis-
connect the tool from the compressed air
source and empty the magazine.
6.5 Actuating the air tool
Important: DKG 80/16, DPN 25 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, DPN 25) 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
air source immediately and forward it to a specialist
for inspection.

7. Care and Maintenance

Danger! Disconnect the compressed air con-
nection and empty the magazine before car-
rying out any work on the tool.
Danger! Repair and maintenance work other
than the work described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified specialists.
- Protect the compressed air connections of the
stapler and the hose line against contamination.
- Carry out regular maintenance to ensure the
safety of the air tool.
- Check that all screw fittings are seated securely,
and tighten if necessary.
- Clean the filter in the compressed air connection
at least once a week.
- It is recommended that you install a pressure
reducer with an air-water separator and lubricator
upstream of the air tool.
- If a large amount of air or oil is escaping, check the
air tool and have it maintained if necessary. (See
Section 9.)

8. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Only use accessories that are designed for this air
tool and that fulfil the requirements and the specifi-
cations listed in these operating instructions.
For a complete range of accessories, see
www.metabo.com or the catalogue.
9. Repairs
Danger! Repairs to the air tools must only be
carried out specialists using original Metabo
spare parts and who observe the specifications in
the operating instructions!
('Specialists' are persons who, on the basis of their
technical training and experience, have sufficient
knowledge in the area of staplers and who are suffi-
ciently familiar with the relevant statutory occupa-
tional safety regulations, accident prevention regu-
lations, directives and generally recognised
technological rules that they are able to assess the
status of staplers with regard to work safety.)
If you have Metabo air tools that require repairs,
please contact your Metabo service centre. For
addresses see www.metabo.com.

Explanation:
Sequential actuation: The trigger (9) must be actu-
ated for every fastening operation. For each addi-
tional fastening operation, the trigger first has to be
moved back to initial position.
Sequential actuation with safety sequence: For
each fastening operation, the trigger (9) and trigger
safety lock (3) must be actuated so that a single
fastening operation is initiated via the trigger after
the opening of the tool is placed on the fastening
point. Additional fastening operations can only be
