Abstract:
A setting tool comprised of a housing (1), a handle (2) projecting laterally from the housing (1), an actuator switch (3), a firing device (10), a piston guide (11) with a cartridge chamber (13) and a guide channel, the guide channel extending perpendicularly to a setting direction through the handle (2) and through the housing (1), between the firing device (10) and the cartridge magazine (13), the guide channel feeding a strip-shaped cartridge magazine (15) to the cartridge chamber (13) and opening into a discharge opening (4) in the housing (1), the discharge opening being arranged on the side of the housing (1) opposite handle (2), the firing device (10) and the piston guide (11) being displaceable against the force of at least one spring (9) in a direction opposite the setting direction, wherein a length (L) extends between a setting-side inside wall of the discharge opening (4) and a setting-side front face (18) of the firing device (10) in the starting position, the length (L) being initially between 15 mm to 20 mm and then corresponding to the greatest path by which the firing device (10) can be displaced.
