# Setting tool and method for setting connecting elements as well as for cutting off a material tape

## Abstract

A setting tool for setting connecting elements from a material tape. The setting tool comprises a C frame, a drive unit arranged at the C frame with a setting head that is linearly movable in the direction of a counter tool, an engine for displacing the material tape, arranged adjacent to the setting head and rigidly connected to the setting head, a cutting device for cutting the material tape, located behind the engine and comprising a cutting part with a blade and an actuating part, the cutting part being rigidly connected to the setting head, and the actuating part being connected to the setting tool such that there is a relative operational movement between the actuating part and cutting part, wherein the setting head is movable by the drive unit into a cutting position such that the blade cuts the material tape during actuation.
