- Attach a suitable air hose (not included) to the air inlet of the Holzmann Combi T5040. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leaks.
- Set the air compressor's regulator to the recommended operating pressure for the tool (refer to tool markings or general pneumatic tool guidelines, typically 60-100 PSI). Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
- Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build pressure.
4.2 Loading Fasteners (Nails or Staples)
Important: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before loading fasteners.
- Ensure the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
- Locate the magazine release latch (if applicable) or slide the magazine open.
- Insert a strip of nails or staples into the magazine, ensuring they are oriented correctly with the points facing forward.
- Push the fasteners fully into the magazine until they are seated against the spring mechanism.
- Close the magazine securely. Verify that the fasteners are visible through the viewing window and are feeding correctly.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Before Operation
- Reconnect the tool to the air supply.
- Perform a test fire on a scrap piece of material to ensure proper operation and fastener depth.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
5.2 Fastening Procedure
- Hold the tool firmly with both hands, if possible, ensuring a stable grip.
- Place the nose of the tool squarely against the workpiece where the fastener is to be driven.
- Apply firm, consistent pressure to the tool against the workpiece.
- Squeeze the trigger to drive the fastener. The tool will fire a nail or staple.
- Release the trigger and lift the tool from the workpiece.
- Repeat the process for subsequent fasteners.
Note: The tool is designed for quick and effortless fastening of materials such as skirting boards, profiled planks, and panels.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Holzmann Combi T5040.
- Daily: Disconnect the air supply. Wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Check for any loose screws or damaged parts.
- Lubrication: Apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each use or at the start of each workday. This lubricates internal components.
- Air Filter: If your air compressor has an inline air filter, ensure it is clean and functioning correctly to prevent contaminants from entering the tool.
- Magazine Cleaning: Periodically clean the magazine to remove any accumulated dust or small debris that could interfere with fastener feeding.
- Storage: When not in use, disconnect the tool from the air supply and store it in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original plastic case with a carrying handle.
