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.
U
nder 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
i
n 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
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,
and 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 4.
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
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.
