the air tool is not exceeded.
- Never carry air tools by the hose.
4.10 Additional safety instructions
- If applicable, observe any special health and
safety or accident prevention regulations
governing the use of compressors and
compressed air tools.
- Ensure that the maximum supply pressure speci-
fied in the Technical Specifications is not
exceeded.
- Do not overload the tool – use it only within the
performance range for which it was designed (see
"Technical Specifications").
- Use non-hazardous lubricants. Ensure the work-
place is adequately ventilated. If there is a large
amount of discharge: check the air tool and have
it repaired if necessary.
- Do not operate the tool unless you are completely
focused. You must be alert, pay attention to what
you are doing and proceed cautiously when
working with an air tool. Never use a tool when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. Just one moment's carelessness
when using the tool can cause serious injury.
- Make sure your workplace is clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit workplaces can cause acci-
dents.
- Keep air tools away from children.
- Do not store the tool outdoors or in damp condi-
tions without protection.
- Protect the air tool, especially the compressed air
connection and the control elements from dust
and dirt.
- Refer to the instructions for assembling the
device. All device parts must be correctly installed
and firmly screwed on.
- Always wear protective goggles.
- Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
- Refer to the glue or adhesive manufacturers'
instructions and also the safety data sheet for the
consumable material.
- Adhesives and sealants can be dangerous. For
this reason, you should always carefully read any
instructions on the container or other information
provided by the manufacturer about the material
to be used. Do not use materials without knowing
what risks they entail.
- Do not use any solvent, acidic or other abrasive
cleaning agents.
- Store the device and its components in a safe
place (e. g. secure against rolling away).

6. Operation
6.1 Before using the tool for the first time
Insert plug-in nipple (5).
6.2 Fitting the cartridge
- Unscrew the front cap (1) from the tube (2).
- Open the cartridge as per the cartridge manufac-
turer's instructions.
- Snip the top of the cartridge nozzle as required for
the work to be carried out.
- Push cartridge with installed cartridge nozzle into
the tube (2).
- Screw on the front cap (1) tightly.
6.3 Using the air tool
To benefit from the air tool's full performance,
always use compressed air hoses with an inner
diameter of at least 10 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.
1. Fit the cartridge. See section 6.2.
2. Adjust the supply pressure on the compressor
(for the maximum permissible supply pressure,
see Technical Specifications).
3. Connect the tool by means of a quick coupling
to the compressed air supply.
4. To extrude sealant or adhesive: press the trig-
ger (3).
5. Release the trigger (3).
.
7. Care and Maintenance
Danger! Disconnect the compressed air con- nection before carrying out any work.
Danger! Repair and maintenance work other
than the work described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified specialists.
- Carry out regular maintenance to ensure the
safety of the air tool.
- Check that all screw fittings are seated securely,
and tighten if necessary.
