The actuation system is selected by installing the appropriate trigger. (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.

Nails are not driven in deep enough:

To increase the driving depth, turn thumbwheel 11 in

clockwise direction.

– Refill the magazine.

(See “Loading the Magazine”, page 17)

– Test the new driving depth on a test workpiece.

Repeat the worksteps as required.

Clearing Jams (see figure G)

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 6.

(See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 18)

– Remove the jammed nail. For this, us a pair of pliers, if required.

–When driver blade 24 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).

– 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.

Adjusting the Spacer Block (seefigure H)

The spacer block 25 enables you to maintain the same clearance, e. g.,

when fastening roofing shingles.

The spacer block engages approx. every 7 mm:

– Least adjustable clearance to the outlet: 12 cm,

– Largest adjustable clearance to the outlet: 21 cm.

– Press button 26 and move the spacer block 25 until the desired clear-

ance is set.
