3. This tool uses a spring loaded bypass lever in order to
load and unload the nails. Once the nails are properly
inserted, pull the follower completely to the back of the
magazine, pressing against the bypass lever of the
follower, see figure 6.
4. Once the follower hits the back of the magazine, allow the
follower to slide forward and engage the nails, pushing
them to the nose of the tool, see figure 7.
Watch for pinch points with the follower.
WARNING
!
Never place any part of your body in a
pinch point area. When loading nails consider where your
hand is located. If it is within a pinch point, strongly consider
an alternative position. Injuries occur when hands or fingers
are between moving and stationary parts during the pinching
movement.

that is capable of producing air pressure
exceeding 200 PSI. Excessive pressure can cause
abnormal operation or cause the tool to burst, resulting in
personal injury.
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air within the
pressure range as marked on the tool. The correct pressure
is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
Before connecting the tool to the air supply, check the air
compressor regulator gauge to be sure it is functioning
properly, and that the air pressure is within the operational
range of the tool, 60-120 psi.
Do not exceed maximum recommended
WARNING
!
air pressure marked on the tool. Verify
prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted
within the rated air-pressure range. Be sure the air pressure
gauge is operating properly and check it at least twice a day.
Tools operated in excess of their maximum pressure rating
may operate abnormally or burst resulting in personal injury
To connect the tool to the compressor only use pneumatic air
hoses that meet the following criteria:
• Minimum hose pressure rating, 200 psi
• Minimum hose inner diameter, 3/8 in.
• Maximum hose length, 100 ft.
To connect the air supply:
1. Snap the air hose onto the quick connector, see figure 8.
2. Check for air leakage. If leakage is noted, cease using the
tool immediately and contact your BOSCH service center.
