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 13 (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 (see figure A) – Empty the magazine 6. (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 3 with a supply-air hose 13 equipped with an air-connection coupling 12. – Check the proper function by placing the outlet 9 of the pneumatic tool against a piece of scrap wood or wood material, and discharging once or twice. Changing the Trigger (see figures B1–B2) 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. The pneumatic tool can be operated with two different actuation systems. The actuation system is selected by installing the appropriate trigger. Removing the Trigger – Pull off rubber ring 14 from locking pin 15. – Pull locking pin 15 out of the housing. – Pull the trigger toward the rear bottom out of the housing. Mounting the Trigger – Select the matching trigger to the desired actuation system. Note: When mounting the grey trigger 5, pay attention that actuation le- ver 16 is in the correct position (see figure B2). – Slide the trigger into the housing. Make sure that actuation spring 17 encloses actuation bolt 18 and ex- erts force against trigger lever 16. – Align the trigger mounting holes with those of the housing and slide locking pin 15 through the holes. – Slide rubber ring 14 onto the groove of locking pin 15. Loading the Magazine (see figures C1–C3) 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 9 is not pointed at your own body or at other persons. – Clean and lubricate shot duct 21 as required and make sure that the magazine 6 is not dirty/soiled. –Press magazine lock 4 and open magazine cover 7. The magazine spindle 19 must be adjusted to the length of the nails so that the nails can be rolled off easily into the outlet. – Pull the magazine spindle 19 upward and turn the magazine spindle un- til it engages in the desired position. – Place the nail role 20 over the magazine spindle 19. – Unwind a sufficient amount of nails, so that the first nail can be posi- tioned in shot duct 21 and the second in feeder hook 22. Position the nail heads into guide groove 23. –Shut magazine cover 7 so that magazine lock 4 engages. fWhen inserting the nail role, pay attention not to damage or de- form the wire winding of the nails. Because of a damaged wire wind- ing or an incorrectly inserted nail role, it is possible that the magazine cover can no longer be correctly shut. This leads to a malfunction of the pneumatic tool. Operation Actuation systems The pneumatic tool can be operated with two different actuations sys- tems: – Single actuation with safety run With this actuation system, the discharge lock-off 10 must first be firm- ly pressed against the workpiece. A fastener is not discharged until the trigger 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 must be pulled first. A fastener is always discharged when the discharge lock-off 10 is firmly pressed against the workpiece while the trigger is pressed. This enables a higher working speed to be achieved.

(see “Changing the Trigger”, page 17) 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 D) – Mount the grey trigger 5. (see “Changing the Trigger”, page 17) – Firmly position the outlet 9 against the workpiece until the discharge lock-off 10 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 E) – Mount the red trigger 8. (see “Changing the Trigger”, page 17) – Press and hold the trigger 8. – Firmly position the outlet 9 against the workpiece until the discharge lock-off 10 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 8 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 –Press magazine lock 4 and open magazine cover 7. – Remove the nail role 20. –Shut magazine cover 7 so that magazine lock 4 engages. Adjusting the Depth Stop (see figure F) The driving depth of the nails can be set with thumbwheel 11. – Empty the magazine 6. (See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 18) – Nails are driven in too deeply: To reduce the driving depth, turn thumbwheel 11 in anti- clockwise direction.
