GUIDE ROD (IC50-2-E & IC50-1-E ONLY)
The tool includes a guide rod that needs to be adjusted
depending on the type of nails:
- The rod should be in the depressed position for
standard plastic inserted nails with 7mm pitch (Fig. 11)
- The rod should be in the released position for wire
welded nails and plastic inserted nails with 6mm pitch
(Fig. 12)
TRIP OPERATION MODE
THESE TOOLS ARE FITTED WITH 2 DIFFFERENT
ACTUATION MODES DEPENDING ON THE MODEL.
m WARNING! Always disconnect air supply before
making adjustments as accidental actuation may
occur, possibly causing injury.
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MODE:
Models: IC50-2-E
CONTACT ACTUATION MODE:
Models: IC50-1-E, IC60-1-E, IC70-1-E, IC90-1-E,
IC90P-1-E, IC90C-1-E
IMPORTANT: The IC90C-1-E is fitted with an
auxiliary handle that includes an additional safety lever
(Fig. 13). This additional lever must be fully depressed
throughout the contact actuation sequence for the tool
to drive any fasteners. If the auxiliary handle lever is
not depressed, the tool will not cycle.
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
The sequential actuation requires the operator to
hold the tool against the work with the safety yoke
depressed before pulling the trigger. In order to drive
additional fasteners, the trigger must be released and
the tool lifted away from the work, before repeating the
above mentioned steps.
This makes accurate fastener placement easier,
for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating
applications. The sequential actuation allows exact
fastener location without the possibility of driving
a second fastener on recoil, as described under
Contact Trip (below). The sequential actuation tool
has a positive safety advantage because it will not
accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contacted
against the work - or anything else - while the operator
is holding the trigger pulled.
m This tool is intended to be used for fastening wood
to wood in pallet/crate (-1-E / -2-E) and construction
applications (-2-E). DO NOT USE for fastening harder
materials which could cause buckling of the fasteners
and damage to the tool. If you are unsure of the suitability
of this tool for certain applications, please contact your
local sales oce.
LOADING THE TOOL
m Warning! When loading the tool 1) Never place
ahand or any part of the body in fastener discharge
area of the tool; 2) Never point the tool at self or
anyone else; 3) Do not pull the trigger or depress
the safety yoke as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
Note: Use only fasteners recommended by Bostitch
for use in Bostitch tools or nails which meet Bostitch
specifications.
MAGAZINE INSERT (IC50-2-E & IC50-1-E ONLY)

2. Open the magazine: Pull down on the latch and
swing the door open (Fig. 1).
Swing magazine cover open. (Fig. 2).
3. Slide one side of the insert plate over the edge of
the magazine cover (Fig. 3) ensuring that the catch is
correctly positioned (Fig. 4).
4. Slide the other side of the insert plate into position so
that the insert is fitted securely in place (Fig. 5).
LOADING (ALL MODELS)
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Open the magazine: Pull down on the latch and
swing the door open. Swing magazine cover open.
(Fig. 6)
3. Check adjustment: the nailer must be set for the
length of nail to be used. Nails will not feed smoothly
if the magazine is not correctly adjusted. To adjust
the magazine, refer to ‘Adjusting the Magazine’
shown below.
4. Load the coil of nails: Place the coil of nails over the
post in the magazine. Uncoil enough nails to reach
the feed pawl. Place the first nail in front of the front
tooth on the feed pawl, in the driver channel. The nail
heads must be in the slot in the nose. (Fig. 7)
5. Swing the door/magazine cover closed. Check that
the latch engages when released. (If it does not
engage, check that the nail heads are in the slot in
the nose.)
