Operation

Lubrication

If the tool is not used with an in-line lubrication system on the air supply it is necessary to periodically lubricate the tool with air tool lubricant.

Under low use, lubricate once a day. Under heavy use, lubricate twice a day. To lubricate, insert 2-3 drops of lubricant into the air supply fitting attached to the tool handle, see figure 2. Using to much oil will cause it to collect in the tool and be noticeable in the exhaust.

Use only the air tool lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by BOSCH. Do

not use other lubricants as they may damage the tool.

Do not use detergent oil, WD-40, transmission fluid, motor oil, or other lubricants not specifically designated as air tool lubricants. These lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals, o-rings, and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent maintenance.

BOSCH recommended lubricants: 10W Pneumatic Tool Oil, Fuchs Air Lube 10W/NR.

Nail Loading

Always load nails into the tool's magazine before the air supply is connected.

Connecting the air supply after loading nails reduces the risk of unintentionally driving a nail and injuring yourself or someone else.

When loading the tools magazine, check ! WARNING that the nail tips contact the wear rail and

slide smoothly against the surface of the magazine. If the nails are not loaded properly, the tool will misfire and nails can be deflected, causing the tool to react in an unexpected manner, and damage the tool.

1.Disconnect air supply.

2.Push magazine latch and pull magazine to open position, figure 3.

3.See tool specifications to determine appropriate nail sizes. Insert appropriate nail strips, with the nail tips contacting the wear rail, figure 4.

4.Push the nail strip against the nose.

5.Push magazine fully closed. Magazine latch will maintain fully closed position.

Use only the nails meeting the criteria ! WARNING listed in the “Specification” section of this

manual. Nails not identified for use with this tool can cause the tool to malfunction and result in the risk of injury and/or tool damage.

Watch for pinch points when closing magazine. Never place any part of your body in a pinch point area. When loading nails consider

where your hand is located. If it is within a pinch point, strongly consider an alternative position. Injuries occur when hands or fingers are between moving and stationary parts during the pinching movement.
