Checking the Suitability of the Substrate
Check the suitability of the substrate before loading the
power tool with nails or performing fastening.
The substrate must be level and free from residue.
To check the hardness of the substrate material, use a nail as
a centre punch. Use a hammer to hit it with a powerful strike
on the material. Check the result:
– The point of the nail is blunted: The substrate is too hard
Be careful when handling nails, especially when load-
ing and unloading. The nails have sharp points which
may result in personal injury.
Only use nails that have been recommended by Bosch
for your power tool. Using unapproved nails can damage
the power tool and cause injuries.
