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 tool's magazine, check ! WARNING that the nail follower slides smoothly by

pulling with finger. If not smooth, nails can be driven at irregular angle.

1. Insert appropriate collated nail strips into loading slot in back of magazine, see figure 3. See tool specifications to determine appropriate nail sizes and angles.

2. Orient a strip of approved nails with the tips pointed down, the nails should be inserted with the tips first into the slot, see figure 4, and to align the head of the nail with the top “T” portion of the slot. Insert nails fully into magazine making sure that the last nail in the strip slides past the Nail Hold Back Spring, see figure 5.

Note: The tool features a nail follower lockout that will prevent the tool from firing when there are zero nails left in the magazine. The tool will not allow the work contact element to be depressed when there are no nails in the tool.

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.
