An apparatus for setting fastening elements (5) has a feed drive (21), with which the connecting elements (5) can be fed to a fitting position, and a setting device which has a setting tool and with which a fastening element (5) arranged in the fitting position can be ejected in order to come into engagement with a support part. Furthermore, there is a drive device which has a drive motor, which has a rotatable drive shaft (13) and is coupled to the feed drive (21) and the setting device (30) via a transmission arrangement (14, 15, 16, 17, 18), and a control arrangement for setting the direction o\~ rotation of the drive shaft (13). The transmission arrangement (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) couples the drive motor (12) to the feed drive (21) in one direction of rotation of the drive shaft (13) and to the setting device in the other direction of rotation of the drive shaft (13). As a result, the apparatus is relatively simple to manipulate. No. of Pages : 18 No. of Claims : 10
