ABSTRACT:
A tacker for a fastener, with which a tacking plunger is drivable by a drive unit and expels the fastener via a muzzle tool, with a switch device comprising a switch plunger, for actuating the drive unit which has a pivotably mounted release lever for actuating the switch plunger, with a contact feeler which can be actuated on placing onto a subject, which is movably mounted on the muzzle tool and which is pretensioned by a spring into the idle position in which it protrudes beyond the muzzle tool, and with a safety device which is arranged between the contact feeler and the switch device and which has a transmission device, for preventing a release of the drive unit when the contact feeler is in its idle position, said safety device comprising a slide element which is movably mounted on the side of the release lever directed towards the switch plunger and which is coupled to the transmission device and is movable with the release lever relative to the transmission device so that in the idle position of the contact feeler it is located in a position in which the switch plunger on actuation of the release lever remains unactuated, and on actuation of the contact feeler is displaced into a position in which the switch plunger is actuated on actuation of the release lever, wherein the transmission device between the contact feeler and slide element comprises a flexible strip element.
