Declaration of Conformity We declare under our sole responsibility that the product described un- der “Technical data” is in conformity with the following standards or standardization documents: EN 792 according to the provisions of the di- rectives 2006/42/EC. Technical file at: Robert Bosch GmbH, PT/ESC, D-70745 Leinfelden-Echterdingen Robert Bosch GmbH, Power Tools Division D-70745 Leinfelden-Echterdingen Leinfelden, 22.03.2011 Assembly Connecting the Air Supply (see figure A) Make sure that the pressure of the compressed-air system is below the maximum permitted rated pressure of the pneumatic tool. Firstly, set the air pressure to the lower value of the recommended rated pressure (see “Technical Data”). When in doubt, check the pressure at the air inlet with a pressure gauge with the pneumatic tool switched on. For maximum performance, the values for the supply-air hose 15 (con- nection thread, maximum operating pressure, inner hose diameter, max- imum hose length; see “Technical Data”) must be observed. The compressed air supplied should be free of foreign material and mois- ture to protect the tool from damage, contamination, and the formation of rust. All fittings, connecting lines and hoses must be dimensioned for the pres- sure and the required air volume. Avoid restrictions in the air supply, e.g., from pinching, kinking, or stretching! Connecting the Air Supply to the Pneumatic Tool – Empty the magazine 10. (See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 18) For the following worksteps, a fastener can be discharged when interi- or parts of the pneumatic tool are not in the starting position due to re- pairs, maintenance or transport. – Connect the air connector 8 with a supply-air hose 15 equipped with an air-connection coupling 14. – Check the proper function by placing the outlet 13 or the rubber work- piece protector 1 of the pneumatic tool onto a piece of scrap wood or wood material, and discharging once or twice. Loading the Magazine (see figures B1–B4) Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or placing the pneumatic tool aside. This safety measure prevents accidental start- ing of the pneumatic tool. fUse only original Bosch accessories (see “Technical Data”). The precision parts of the pneumatic tool such as the magazine, the outlet and the shot duct are matched to Bosch staples, nails and brads. Other manufacturers use other steel qualities and sizes. Using fasteners not permitted, can damage the pneumatic tool and cause injuries. While loading the magazine, hold the pneumatic tool in such a manner that the outlet 13 is not pointed at your own body or at other persons. – Clean and lubricate the magazine slider 11 as required and make sure that the magazine 10 is not dirty/soiled. – Insert a fitting nail strip 16 in the T-slot at the end of the magazine 10. When doing this, the nail tips must be inserted first. – Push the nail strip in the magazine toward the front until the last nail is positioned in front of the magazine spring 17. Note: A lock function of the magazine slider prevents the pneumatic tool from being started with an empty magazine. The discharge lock-off can- not be pressed in and blank firing is thus prevented. – Press the pretensioned nail pusher 18 against the magazine slider 11 and at the same time, pull the magazine slider completely to the end of the magazine 10. Note: The magazine slider must slide back with only low force (finger- pressure). A tight-running magazine slider causes the nails to be driven in at an incorrect angle. – With the nail pusher 18 pressed, carefully guide the magazine slider 11 toward the front until the nail pusher is over the last nail, thus pushing the nail strip in the magazine completely to the front. Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without guiding it. Other- wise, the magazine slider could become damaged, and there is danger of your fingers being caught or pinched.

A fastener is not discharged until the trigger 5 is pulled. Afterwards, further discharging procedures can only be actuated, when the trigger and the discharge lock-off have first been set back to the starting position. – Contact actuation With this actuation system, the trigger 5 must be pulled first. A fastener is always discharged when the discharge lock-off 2 is firmly pressed against the workpiece while the trigger is pressed. This enables a higher working speed to be achieved. The actuation system is set via the selector switch 6. Starting Operation Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or placing the pneumatic tool aside. This safety measure prevents accidental start- ing of the pneumatic tool. Working with Single Actuation (see figure C) – Press selector switch 6 inward and at the same time pivot it to the bot- tom position until it engages. The actuation system “single actuation” is set. – Firmly position the outlet 13 or the rubber workpiece protector 1 on the workpiece until discharge lock-off 2 is pressed in completely. – Afterwards, briefly press trigger 5 and release again. A nail is discharged. – Allow the pneumatic tool to bounce back from the workpiece. – For another driving procedure, completely lift the pneumatic tool from the workpiece and position it firmly at the next desired location. Working with Contact Actuation (see figure D) – Press selector switch 6 inward and at the same time pivot it to the up- per position until it engages. The actuation system “contact actuation” is set. – Press and hold the trigger 5. – Firmly position the outlet 13 or the rubber workpiece protector 1 on the workpiece until discharge lock-off 2 is pressed in completely. A nail is discharged. – Allow the pneumatic tool to bounce back from the workpiece. – For another driving procedure, completely lift the pneumatic tool from the workpiece and position it firmly at the next desired location. – Move the pneumatic tool uniformly over the workpiece by lifting it off and applying it again. Each time when applying the pneumatic tool while the discharge lock- off is pressed in, a nail will be discharged. – As soon as the desired amount of nails have been driven in, release trig- ger 5 again. Working Advice Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or placing the pneumatic tool aside. This safety measure prevents accidental start- ing of the pneumatic tool. Check the proper function of the safety and actuation devices, and the tight seating of all screws and nuts each time before using. Disconnect a defective or not properly operating pneumatic tool immedi- ately from of the air supply and contact an authorised service agent for Bosch power tools. Do not perform any incorrect manipulations on the pneumatic tool. Do not disassemble or block any components of the pneumatic tool, such as the discharge lock-off. Do not carry out “emergency repairs” with unsuitable means. The pneu- matic tool is to be maintained regularly and properly (see “Maintenance and Cleaning”, page 19). Avoid any weakening and damage whatsoever of the pneumatic tool, e.g., through: – Imprinting or engraving, – Retrofitting measures not approved by the manufacturer, – Guiding along templates manufactured of hard material, e.g. steel, – Dropping on or sliding over the floor, – Using as a hammer, – Applying any kind of force. Make sure to check whatever is below or behind your workpiece. Do not shoot nails into walls, ceilings or floors, when persons are behind them. The nails can burst through the workpiece and injure someone. Do not shoot a nail onto an already driven-in one. This could cause the nail to deform, the nails could become jammed or the pneumatic tool could move uncontrolled. When the pneumatic tool is used under cold ambient conditions, the first nails will be driven in slower than usual. Once the pneumatic tool has warmed up during working, normal operating speed will be regained. Avoid blank shots in order to reduce the wear of the impact striker. For longer work breaks or after finishing work, disconnect the pneumatic tool from the air supply and empty the magazine. Emptying the Magazine (see figures E1 – E2) –With the nail pusher 18 pressed, pull the magazine slider 11 to the rear until the last nail is free; then carefully guide the magazine slider toward the front to the beginning of the magazine 10. Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without guiding it. Other- wise, the magazine slider could become damaged, and there is danger of your fingers being caught or pinched. – Turn the pneumatic tool so that the nails in the magazine slide back to the magazine spring 17. – Push the magazine spring down and allow the nails to slide past the nail pusher 18 out of the magazine 10. Adjusting the Depth Stop (see figure F) The driving depth of the nails can be set with thumbwheel 12. – Empty the magazine 10. (See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 18) – Nails are driven in too deeply: To reduce the driving depth, turn thumbwheel 12 in anticlockwise di- rection.

OBJ_BUCH-1302-001.book Page 18 Tuesday, March 22, 2011 11:17 AMEnglish | 19 Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 X30 | (22.3.11) Nails are not driven in deep enough: To increase the driving depth, turn thumbwheel 12 in clockwise direc- tion. – Refill the magazine. (See “Loading the Magazine”, page 17) – Test the new driving depth on a test workpiece. Repeat the worksteps as required. Removing the Discharge Lock-off For service or cleaning purposes, the discharge lock-off 2 can be re- moved. –Turn thumbwheel 12 in clockwise direction, until the first thread can be seen. – Carry out 6 further turns in clockwise direction. The discharge lock-off 2 can now be pulled off. –To reinsert again, slide discharge lock-off 2 back into the holes intend- ed for this, and turn thumbwheel 12 in anticlockwise direction until no more threads can be seen. Clearing Jams (see figures G1 –G3) Single nails can become jammed in the shot duct. If this should occur fre- quently, please contact an authorised service agent for Bosch power tools. – Empty the magazine 10. (See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 18) – Press clamping lever 3 down so that the shot duct opens. – Remove the jammed nail. For this, us a pair of pliers, if required. – When driver blade 19 is extended, push it back into the piston using a lubricated screwdriver or other suitable lubricated object. – Lubricate the shot duct with 2 –3 drops of engine oil (SAE 10 or SAE 20). – Close the shot duct, hang the clip of clamping lever 3 into the hooks on the shot duct and then push the clamping lever up again. – Refill the magazine. (See “Loading the Magazine”, page 17) Note: When the driver blade does not return after clearing a jam, please contact an authorised service agent for Bosch power tools. Changing the Workpiece Protector (see figure H) The workpiece protector 1 at the end of the discharge lock-off 2 protects the workpiece until the pneumatic tool is correctly placed for the driving procedure. The workpiece protector can be removed and replaced. – Pull the workpiece protector from the discharge lock-off. – Push the new workpiece protector via the open end over the discharge lock-off. Note: A spare workpiece protector can be stored at the top side of maga- zine 10. For this, push the workpiece protector into the depot 9. Adjustable Air-outlet cap (see figure I) With the adjustable exhaust cap at the air outlet 4, it is possible to deflect the exhaust air away from yourself or the workpiece. Transport and Storage For transport, disconnect the pneumatic tool from the air supply; espe- cially when using ladders or moving in an unusual stance or posture. At the workplace, carry the pneumatic tool only by the handle 7 and with the trigger 5 released. Always store the pneumatic tool disconnected from the air supply and at a clean and dry location. When not using the pneumatic tool for a longer period of time, cover steel parts with a fine oil coating. This prevents the formation of rust. Maintenance and Service Maintenance and Cleaning Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or placing the pneumatic tool aside. This safety measure prevents accidental start- ing of the pneumatic tool. If the pneumatic tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be carried out by an authorised customer services agent for Bosch power tools. In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the pneumatic tool. fHave maintenance and repair work carried out only through quali- fied persons. This will ensure that the safety of the pneumatic tool is maintained. An authorized Bosch after-sales service agent will carry out this work quickly and reliably. Lubricating the Pneumatic Tool (see figure J) When the pneumatic tool is not connected to a maintenance unit, it must be lubricated at regular intervals: –For light-duty use 1x per day. –For heavy-duty use 2x per day. Apply 2 –3 drops of lubricant into air connector 8. Do not apply too much lubricant, which could then accumulate in the pneumatic tool and be emit- ted via air outlet 4. Use only the lubricants recommended by Bosch. – SAE 10 mineral engine oil (for use at very cold ambient conditions) – SAE 20 mineral engine oil Observe all applicable environmental regulations when disposing of old grease and solvents.
