Tool Operation Check; Adjusting The Nailing Depth - Bostitch GFN1564K Original Instructions Manual

FASTENER LOCKOUT (GFN1664K / GFN1564K)
These tools employ a mechanism to prevent dry firing of
the tool.
When the magazine is not loaded with nails or when the
remaining number of nails becomes less than 10, the
contact arm cannot operate and the tool will not fire.

TOOL USE
Having checked that the tool is working properly, press
the nose against the work piece and pull the trigger.
Check whether the fastener has been driven as required.

ADJUSTING THE NAILING DEPTH

To ensure that each nail penetrates to the same depth,
be sure that the tool is always held firmly against the
workpiece.
If nails are driven too deep or shallow into the
workpiece, adjust the nailing in the following order.
1. Remove the fuel cell and the battery from the nailer.
(Fig. 19).
2. If the nails are driven too deeply, turn the depth
adjustment in the direction shown (Fig. 20a). Adjustments
are in half-turn increments.
If the depth of drive is too shallow, turn the depth
adjustment in the opposite direction (Fig. 20b).
1. Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position is
reached for a nailing test.
2. Connect the fuel cell and the battery to the nailer and
check the new depth of drive by driving a fastener into
an equivalent piece of wood. If further adjustments are
required, repeats setps 1 to 2 above.
7. UTILITY HOOK
The utility hook can be installed on either the right or left
side of the tool.
WARNING! Always remove the gas and battery from the
tool before making adjustments or before attempting any
part assembly or disassembly.
1. To adjust or remove the hook, first, remove the fuel cell
and the battery from the nailer. (Fig. 19).
2. Securely hold the tool and remove the screw using a
screwdriver (Fig. 21).
3. Remove the hook and hook plate (Fig. 22).
4. Install the hook on the other side and securely fasten
with screw (Fig. 23).
8. USING THE NO-MAR TIP
If you need to protect the surface of the workpiece
against scratches or markings made by the contact arm,
a No-Mar Tip can be fitted to the tool.
1. First, remove the fuel cell and the battery from the
nailer.
2. Put on the No-Mar Tip as shown in Figs 24 & 25
depending on your tool model.
3. The tip is marked to indicate the exit point of the nail,
making alignment easier.
To remove the tip, pull it off in the reverse order of
attachment. When not in use, attach to the storage area
on the back of the magazine or in the case. (Fig. 26 & 27)
