Abstract

With a solenoid actuated tacker the setting of the penetration depth of the fastening elements is effected by adjusting the operating stroke of the armature with respect to the solenoid coil actuating the armature. To accomplish this there is preferably provided an armature stop displaceable in the direction of movement of the armature. The stop is preferably supported and moved by a cam-like element adjustably rotatable about an axis at right angles to the movement of the armature. In this way the drive-in depth of the fastening elements can simply and readily be adjusted.
