Safety Notes
General Safety Rules for Pneumatic Tools
Read and observe all safety warnings and instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the following safety warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Work area safety
fKeep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
fDo not operate the pneumatic tool in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dusts. While work-
ing the workpiece, sparks can be created which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
fKeep children and bystanders away from your workplace whileop-
erating the pneumatic tool. Distractions from other persons can
cause you to lose control over the pneumatic tool.
Pneumatic tool safety
fUse compressed air of Quality Class 5 in accordance with DIN ISO
8573-1 and a separate maintenance unit close to the pneumatic
tool. The compressed air supplied should be free of foreign material
and moisture to protect the pneumatic tool from damage, contamina-
tion, and the formation of rust.
fCheck the connections and the air supply lines. All maintenance
units, couplers, and hoses should conform to the product specifica-
tions in terms ofpressure and air volume. Too low pressure impairs the
function of the pneumatic tool; too high pressure can result in material
damage and personal injury.
fProtect the hoses from kinks, restrictions, solvents, and sharp
edges. Keep the hoses away from heat, oil, and rotating parts. Im-
mediately replace a damaged hose. A defective air supply line may
result in a wild compressed-air hose and can cause personal injury.
Raised dust or chips maycause serious eye injury.
fMake sure that hose clamps are always tightened firmly. Loose or
damaged hose clamps may result in uncontrolled air escape.
Personal safety
fStay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operatingapneumatictool. Donot usea pneumatictool whiletired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating a pneumatic tool may result in personal
injury.
fUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
fPrevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the pneumatic tool
is switched off before connecting it to the air supply, picking it up
or carrying it. When your finger is on the On/Off switch while carrying
the pneumatic tool or when connecting the pneumatic tool to the air
supply while it is switched on, accidents can occur.
fRemove any adjustment tools before switching on the pneumatic
tool.A wrenchor keyleftattached toa rotating partof apneumatictool
may result in personal injury.
fDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the pneumatic tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
fDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
fIf devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
fDo not directly inhale the exhaust air. Avoid exposing the eyesto
exhaust air. The pneumatic tool’s exhaust air can contain water, oil,
metal particles and debris from the compressor. This can cause dam-
age to one‘s health.
Pneumatic tool use and care
fUse the clamping devices or a vice to secure and support the work-
piece. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body will not al-
low for safe operation of the pneumatic tool.
fDonot overload thepneumatic tool. Use thepneumatic toolintend-
edfor your work.The correct pneumatic tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
fDo not use a pneumatic tool that has a defective On/Off switch.A
pneumatic tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
fDisconnect the air supply before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or placing the pneumatic tool aside. This safety
measure prevents accidental starting of the pneumatic tool.
fStoreidlepneumatictoolsout ofthereach ofchildren.Do notallow
personsunfamiliarwiththepneumatic toolortheseinstructionsto
operate the device. Pneumatic tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
fMaintain the pneumatic tool with care. Check for misalignment or
bindingof movingparts, breakageof partsand anyother condition
that may affect the pneumatic tool’s operation. Have damaged
parts repaired before using the pneumatic tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained pneumatic tools.
fUsethe pneumatic tool,accessories,application tools, etc.accord-
ing to these instructions. Take into consideration the working con-
ditionsand the activitiesto be carriedout. Use ofthe pneumatictool
for operations different from those intended could result in hazardous
situations.
Service
fHave your pneumatic tool repaired only through a qualified repair
person and only using original replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the pneumatic tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Compressed-air Nailers/Staplers
Wear safety goggles.
fAlways assume that the pneumatic tool is loaded with fasteners.
Careless handling of the pneumatic tool can lead to unexpected shot
actuation of fasteners and cause injury.
fWhen working, hold the pneumatic tool in such a manner that your
head and body cannot be injuredin case of sudden kickback due to
a malfunction of the energy supply or from hard objects/locations
in the workpiece.
fNever point the pneumatic tool at yourself or at persons close by.
Unexpected actuation will expel a fastener, which can lead to injury.
fDo not actuate the pneumatic tool until firmly placed against the
workpiece. When the pneumatic tool is not in contact with the work-
piece, the fastener can bounce away from the fastening point and over-
load the pneumatic tool.
Donot work onladders or scaffolds whenthe actuation
system “Contact actuation” is set. In particular, do not
move from one fastening location to another, close
boxes or enclosures, or fasten transport-securing fix-
tures on e.g., vehicles and waggons, via scaffolds,
stairs, ladders or ladder-like constructions, such as
roofbattens. Withthisactuationsystem,afastenerwillbe
discharged each time when accidentally applying the
pneumatic tool while the discharge lock-off is pressed in.
This can lead to injury.
fObserve the conditions of the job site. It is possible that fasteners
can burst through thin workpieces or be deflected when working in cor-
ners or against edges, and harm persons.
Disconnect the air supply, when the fastener is
jammed in the pneumatic tool. When the pneumatic tool
is still connected to the power supply, it can accidentally
be actuated when removing a jammed fastener.
fUse caution when removing a jammed or stuck fastener. The sys-
tem can be under tension and cause the fastener to be shot or thrust
out, while attempting to clear the jam.
fDonot use thisto pneumatic tooltofastenelectrical wiring. Itis not
suitable for fastening electrical wiring, can damage the insulation of
electric cables and thus lead to electric shock and danger of fire.
fNever use oxygen or flammable gases as the energy source for the
pneumatic tool. Flammable gases are dangerous and can cause the
pneumatic tool to explode.
fUseappropriatedetectors todetermine ifutilitylines arehiddenin
the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Con-
tact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
fThe pneumatic tool may only be connected to lines, for which the
maximal permissible pressure of the pneumatic tool cannot be ex-
ceeded by more than 10 %; for higher pressures, a pressure con-
trol valve (pressure reducer) with preceding pressure-limitation
valve in the compressed-air line must be installed. Excessive pres-
sure leads to abnormal operation or breakage of the pneumatic tool,
which can lead to injury.

Assembly
Connecting the Air Supply (see figure A)
Make sure that the pressure of the compressed-air system is below the
maximum permitted rated pressure of the pneumatic tool. Firstly, set the
air pressure to the lower value of the recommended rated pressure (see
“Technical Data”).
When in doubt, check the pressure at the air inlet with a pressure gauge
with the pneumatic tool switched on.
For maximum performance, the values for the supply-air hose 15 (con-
nection thread, maximum operating pressure, inner hose diameter, max-
imum hose length; see “Technical Data”) must be observed.
The compressed air supplied should be free of foreign material and mois-
tureto protectthe toolfrom damage,contamination,and theformationof
rust.
All fittings, connecting lines and hoses mustbe dimensioned for the pres-
sure and the required air volume.
Avoid restrictions in the air supply, e.g., from pinching, kinking, or
stretching!
Connecting the Air Supply to the Pneumatic Tool
– Empty the magazine 10.
(See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 18)
For the following worksteps,a fastener can be discharged when interi-
or parts of the pneumatic tool are not in the starting position due to re-
pairs, maintenance or transport.
– Connecttheairconnector8with asupply-air hose15 equipped with an
air-connection coupling 14.
– Check the proper function by placing the outlet 13 or the rubber work-
piece protector 1of the pneumatic tool onto a piece of scrap wood or
wood material, and discharging once or twice.
Loading the Magazine (see figures B1–B4)
Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust-
ments,changing accessories,orplacingthepneumatic
tool aside. This safety measure prevents accidental start-
ing of the pneumatictool.
fUse only original Bosch accessories (see “Technical Data”). The
precision parts of the pneumatic tool such as the magazine, the outlet
and the shot duct are matched to Bosch staples, nails and brads. Other
manufacturers use other steel qualities and sizes.
Using fasteners not permitted, can damage the pneumatic tool and
cause injuries.
While loading the magazine, hold the pneumatic tool in such a manner
that the outlet 13 is not pointed at your own bodyor at other persons.
– Clean and lubricate the magazine slider11 as required and make sure
that the magazine 10 is not dirty/soiled.
– Insert a fitting nail strip 16 in the T-slot at the end of the magazine 10.
When doing this, the nail tips must be inserted first.
– Push the nail strip in the magazine toward the front until the last nail is
positioned in front of the magazine spring 17.
Note: A lock function of the magazine slider prevents the pneumatic tool
from being started with an empty magazine. The discharge lock-off can-
not be pressed in and blank firing is thus prevented.
– Press the pretensioned nail pusher 18 against the magazine slider 11
and at the same time, pull the magazine slider completely to the end of
the magazine 10.
Note: The magazine slider must slide back with only low force (finger-
pressure). A tight-running magazine slider causes the nails to be driven in
at an incorrect angle.
– Withthenail pusher 18pressed, carefully guidethe magazineslider 11
toward the front until the nail pusher is over the last nail, thus pushing
the nail strip in the magazine completely to the front.
Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without guiding it. Other-
wise, the magazine slider could become damaged, and there is danger of
your fingers being caught or pinched.

Operation
Actuation systems
The pneumatic tool can be operated with two different actuations sys-
tems:
–Single actuation with safety run
With this actuation system, the discharge lock-off 2must first be firmly
pressed against the workpiece. A fastener is not discharged until the
trigger 5is pulled.
Afterwards, further discharging procedures can only be actuated,
when the trigger and the discharge lock-off havefirst been set back to
the starting position.
–Contact actuation
Withthis actuationsystem, the trigger5must be pulled first. A fastener
is always discharged when the discharge lock-off 2is firmly pressed
against the workpiece while the trigger is pressed.
This enables a higher working speed to be achieved.
The actuation system is set via the selector switch 6.
Starting Operation
Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust-
ments,changingaccessories,orplacingthe pneumatic
tool aside. This safety measure prevents accidental start-
ing of the pneumatic tool.
Working with Single Actuation (see figure C)
– Press selector switch 6inward and at the same time pivot it to the bot-
tom position until it engages.
The actuation system “single actuation” is set.
– Firmly position the outlet 13 or the rubber workpiece protector 1on
the workpiece until discharge lock-off 2is pressed in completely.
– Afterwards, briefly press trigger 5and 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 D)
– Press selector switch 6inward and at the same time pivot it to the up-
per position until it engages.
The actuation system “contact actuation” is
set.
– Press and hold the trigger 5.
– Firmly position the outlet 13 or the rubber workpiece protector 1on
the workpiece until discharge lock-off 2is 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 thedesired amount of nails have been driven in, release trig-
ger 5again.
Working Advice
Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust-
ments,changingaccessories,or placingthepneumatic
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.
Donotperform anyincorrectmanipulations onthepneumatic tool.Donot
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).
Avoidany weakeningand damagewhatsoever ofthe pneumatictool, 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 ontoan already driven-in one. This couldcausethe 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 (see figures E1 –E2)
–Withthenailpusher18pressed, pull the magazine slider 11 to the rear
untilthe lastnailisfree;thencarefully guidethe magazineslider toward
the front to the beginning of the magazine 10.
Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without guiding it. Other-
wise, the magazine slider could become damaged, and there is danger of
your fingers being caught or pinched.
– Turn the pneumatic tool so that the nails in the magazine slide back to
the magazine spring 17.
– Push the magazine spring down and allow the nails to slide past the nail
pusher 18 out of the magazine 10.
Adjusting the Depth Stop (see figure F)
The driving depth of the nails can be set with thumbwheel 12.
– Empty the magazine 10.
(See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 18)
–Nails are driven in too deeply:
To reduce the driving depth, turn thumbwheel 12 in anticlockwise di-
rection.
