Abstract: An apparatus for driving a fastening element in a driving direction into a base material, having a receptacle for the fastening element, from which the fastening element is driven into the base material, having a magazine for supplying fastening elements in a transport direction to the receptacle, wherein the side of the magazine facing the driving direction has a slot which runs in the transport direction, and having a dust deflector which covers the slot.

Abstract: A setting device for driving fastening elements in a setting direction into a substrate is provided, having a driving-in element movable between a starting position and a setting position, a drive driving the driving-in element in the setting direction from the starting position to the setting position transferring energy to a fastening element, and a resetting device conveying the driving-in element counter to the setting direction from the setting position to the starting position, the resetting device comprising a rotor, rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a driver element on the rotor which can be engaged with the driving-in element, driving the driving-in element counter to the setting direction, the driver element being mounted on the rotor radially movable wherein, upon rotor rotation, the driver element moves from the axis of rotation to engage with the driving-in element.
