3.4 Fastener guide
The fastener guide holds the studs or, respectively, guides the nails and, when the tool is fired, thus directs the
fasteners into the supporting material at the desired position. Application-specific fastener guides (IF or ME)
are available for the GX 3 and GX 3-ME fastening tools (see type identification plate for exact designation).
3.5 Fasteners
Two types of fastener can be driven by the fastening tool: nails and threaded studs. Additional fastening
components, which can be inserted in the fastener guide, are also available for various applications.
3.6 Slider for fastener driving depth adjustment and for releasing the fastener guide
The slider can be used to reduce the depth to which the fastener is driven. In the EJECT position, it releases
the fastener guide for removal.
