firmly. NOTE: If an adapter is in the air inlet, remove it prior to inserting the
fitting.
3.
To install a 3/8" (9.5 mm) fitting: screw the fitting into the 3/8" (9.5 mm)

PREPARING THE TOOL
Read the section titled Important Safety Instructions for
Pneumatic Tools at the beginning of this manual. Always wear eye and ear
protection when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away from yourself
and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures and checks
before each use of the nailer.
To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, only use BOSTITCH
pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent SAE 20 weight oil. Oil with additives or
detergent will damage tool parts.
1.
Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks have been
properly drained.
2.
Lubricate tool:
a.
Use BOSTITCH pneumatic tool oil or a non-detergent S.A.E. 20 weight
oil. DO NOT use detergent oil or additives as they will damage O-rings
and rubber parts.
b.
Use a filter when possible.
c.
Add 5 to 7 drops of oil in the air fitting a least twice a day.
3.
Wear eye and ear protection.
4.
Ensure canister is empty of all fasteners.
5.
Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip. Do not use tool
if assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER tamper with the contact
trip. NEVER use a tool that has the contact trip restrained in the actuated
position.
6.
Check air supply: Ensure air pressure does not exceed recommended
operating limits; 70 to 120 psi, (4.9 to 8.3 bar, 5 to 8.5 kg/cm
7.
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.
8.
Connect air hose.
9.
Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a tool that
leaks or has damaged parts.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool from
air supply and engage trigger lock before performing maintenance, clearing
a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or
handing the tool to another person.
