Description3
General Product Description3.1
The Power Drive F35 Stud Driver is a safe tool that can be employed for a wide
range of applications by professional, certied users.
The tool is intended for commercial use for xing purposes by driving elements of
the scher accessories product range developed specially for this eld of applica-
tion into concrete, steel, solid brick and solid lime-sand brick.
Only scher safety cartridges FSC 6.8 /11 (0.27 inch) may be used to generate the
propulsion gas. Fastening is performed directly through the part to be xed into the
anchoring substrate (base material). Predrilling of holes is not necessary.
The Stud Driver has a 6-position power regulator that allows the tool power to be
optimally adapted to the intended application.
The low noise and minimum recoil increase the comfort for the operator and thus
contribute signicantly to higher productivity. The powder-driven system is com-
pletely portable so that it can be used even in conned spaces and at points with
restricted access.
