Abstract
A tool for driving fastening elements (40) into a receiving material (U) includes a housing (1) with a throughbore (3), a channel (5) extending transversely and opening into the throughbore, and a guide (8). A driving device (2) is axially displaceable through the guide (8). The driving device (2) has an axially extending guide tube (9) in which a ram (7) is axially displaceable. Axial displacement of the driving device (2) is converted by control elements (10a, 10b) into transverse movement of a slide (6) located within the channel (5). The slide (6) cooperates with a separation device (12) in the form of a spring-loaded pawl at a magazine (11) holding the fastening elements (40). The magazine is mounted on the housing by a quick disconnect fitting.
