Assembly
Connecting the Air Supply (see figure A)
Make sure that the pressure of the compressed-air sys-
tem 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
17
(connection thread, maximum operating pres-
sure, inner hose diameter, maximum hose length; see
“Technical Data”) must be observed.
The compressed air supplied should be free of foreign
material and moisture to protect the tool from damage,
contamination, and the formation of rust.
All fittings, connecting lines and hoses must be dimen-
sioned for the pressure 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
8
.
(See “Emptying the Magazine”, page 27)
For the following worksteps, a fastener can be dis-
charged when interior parts of the pneumatic tool are
not in the starting position due to repairs, maintenance
or transport.
– Connect the air connector
6
with a supply-air hose
17
equipped with an air-connection coupling
16
.
– Check the proper function by placing the outlet
13
or
the rubber workpiece protector
1
of the pneumatic
tool onto a piece of scrap wood or wood material, and
discharging once or twice.
Loading the Magazine
Disconnect the air supply before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or plac-
ing the pneumatic tool aside.
This safety
measure prevents accidental starting of the
pneumatic tool.
f
Use 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 man-
ufacturers use other steel qualities and sizes.
Using fasteners not permitted, can damage the pneu-
matic 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 body or at other persons.

11
as required
and make sure that the magazine

is not dirty/soiled.
– Place a fitting strip of staples
18
over magazine
8
.
The staple heads must face completely flush against
the surface of the magazine and the staple strips must
move easily in the magazine.
– Lightly pull back magazine slider
11
and press the but-
ton of magazine-slider lock
7
inward.
– Carefully guide the magazine slider to the front until it
touches the staple strip.
Note:
Do not let the magazine slider snap back without
guiding it. Otherwise, the magazine slider could become
damaged, and there is danger of your fingers being
caught or pinched.
