Frequently Asked Questions
What type of compressor is needed to operate the Güde 40220?
The Güde 40220 requires a compressor capable of delivering at least 6 bar of pressure with a 1/4" threaded connection. Virtually any portable compressor with a 6-10 liter tank and this pressure is sufficient for the intermittent use typical of upholsterers and fitters.
For continuous work on large surfaces (false ceilings, building walls), a compressor with at least a 24-liter tank is recommended to avoid frequent restart cycles. The connection fitting is a standard 1/4" IG, compatible with almost all pneumatic accessories on the market.
What staples and nails can be used with the Güde 40220 in addition to the included kit?
The Güde 40220 accepts staples with a gauge of 1 mm, a width of 5.8 mm, and a leg length of up to 40 mm, and nails with a gauge of 1.05 mm and a length of up to 50 mm. The included kit covers the most common sizes: 20, 32, and 40 mm staples, 25 and 40 mm nails.
For refills, it is necessary to verify that the replacement staples comply with the 5.8 mm width – a specific measurement that is not universal. Staples with a width of 6 mm or different are not compatible with this magazine. Krollit can supply compatible consumables: contact the Monteforte Irpino (AV) warehouse at +39 0825-1494022 to check availability.
How does the safety lock of the Güde 40220 work?
The Güde 40220 is equipped with an impact safety lock that prevents accidental ejection of staples or nails. The tool activates only when the tip is pressed against the work surface in combination with the trigger pressure.
This dual-safety system – contact pressure plus manual activation – is standard for pneumatic staplers intended for professional use. It reduces the risk of accidental ejection during movement or position changes, a frequent condition in setup work on ladders or scaffolding.
Is the Güde 40220 suitable for fixing plasterboard panels to metal structures?
No. The Güde 40220 is designed for staples and nails on wooden materials, plasterboard on wooden substructures, and insulation sheets. It is not suitable for drilling or penetrating steel or aluminum profiles.
For fixing plasterboard to metal structures (C or U type steel profiles), a specific plasterboard screwdriver or a self-tapping screw is required. The Güde 40220 works correctly for laying panels on wooden battens, on wooden frameworks for false ceilings, and for fixing vapor barrier membranes and insulation sheets to wooden structures.
What maintenance does the Güde 40220 require?
Routine maintenance consists of periodic oiling of the pneumatic mechanism with the oil included in the kit. It is advisable to add 2-3 drops of oil into the fitting before each prolonged use session.
After each use, it is useful to release the pressure from the tool before storing it in its case. The magazine should be cleaned of dust residue or wood splinters that could block the staple feed. In case of jamming, the 2 Allen wrenches included in the kit allow the magazine to be opened for removal of jammed material without the need for additional tools.
