6 Types of work
6.1 Using the support leg
On an even working surface, the support leg makes it easier to hold the fastening tool perpendicular as
attention then only has to be paid to lateral alignment. On uneven surfaces it may necessary to retract the
support leg in order to ensure that the fastener guide is perpendicular to the working surface.
6.1.1 Retracting the support leg
1. Push against the support leg to release it from its resting position.
2. Pivot the support leg back through about 230°.
3. Push against the support leg from below until it engages in the retracted position.
6.1.2 Extending the support leg
CAUTION
Risk of pinching the fingers! When folding the support leg back there is a risk of trapping and pinching the
fingers between the support leg and the casing of the tool.
▶ Hold the fastening tool by the grip when extending/retracting the support leg.
1. Push against the support leg to release it from its resting position.
2. Pivot the support leg forward through about 230°.
3. Push against the support leg from below until it engages in the extended position.
6.2 Switching the fastening tool on/off
6.2.1 Switching the fastening tool on
