Clearing a Jammed Nail (Fig. A, K)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, disconnect tool from air supply before
performing maintenance, when loading or
removing fasteners, clearing a jammed fastener,
leaving work area, moving tool to another
location or handing the tool to anotherperson.
If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, keep the tool
pointed away from you and follow these instructions
toclear:
1. Disconnect the air supply from thetool.
2. Lift the canister door latch
3
to open the nail guide
door
6
.
3. Open the canisterdoor.
4. Remove the jammednail.
5. Correct any deformation that may have occurred to the
nailcoil.
NOTE: Should nails continue to jam frequently in
nosepiece, have tool serviced by an authorized BOSTITCH
servicecenter.

Cold Weather Operation
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool
operation. We recommend the use of winter formula air tool
lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold
weatherlubricant.

CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the
tools operating valves and mechanisms that could
cause toolfailure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful
to “O”-rings and seals—do not use these low temperature
air dryers without checkingcompatibility.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out
of direct sunlight as excessive heat can deteriorate
bumpers, O-rings and other rubber parts resulting in
increasedmaintenance.
MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, disconnect tool from air supply before
performing maintenance, when loading or
removing fasteners, clearing a jammed fastener,
leaving work area, moving tool to another
location or handing the tool to anotherperson.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performingthis.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into aliquid.
Replacement Parts
BOSTITCH replacement parts are recommended. Do not
use modified parts or parts which will not give equivalent
performance to the originalequipment.
