Abstract
A setting device (10) for driving fastening elements into a receiving material has a housing (11), with a muzzle part (20) which is displaceable axially relative to the housing (11) and is arranged with a guide channel (38) for a fastening element strip (50) and opens into a receiving space (39) for a fastening element (51) to be driven in. Further, a locking element (30) is arranged in the muzzle part (20). The locking element (30) has a feeler portion (33) for detecting a fastening element (51) in the receiving space (39) and a locking part (32) for blocking the displacement of the muzzle part (20) relative to the housing (11) in a locking position (61) when a fastening element (51) is not detected in the receiving space (39) by the feeler portion (33). A blocking member (40) in the muzzle part (20) is movable into the guide channel (38) so as to block the fastening element strip (50). To improve a setting device (10) of this type, the blocking member (40) is in an operative connection with the locking element (30) so that the blocking member (40) can be actuated by the locking element (40).
