TOOL USE

Having checked that the tool is working properly, press the nose against the work piece and pull the trigger. 
Check whether the fastener has been driven as required.

• If the fastener is not driven deep enough, increase the air pressure by 5-6 psi (0.5 Bar) at a time,
   checking the result after each adjustment. Do not exceed the maximum permissible working pressure
   (see Tool Technical Data)
•   If the fastener is driven too deeply, reduce the air pressure by 5-6 psi (0.5 Bar) at a time, checking the result after 

each adjustment. Do not try to use less than the minimum working pressure (see Tool Technical Data).

Always try to work with the lowest possible air pressure. This will reduce the noise and vibration produced and 
will extend the life of the internal components such as the bumper.

UTILITY HOOK INSTALLATION (Fig 18-20):

These tools include an additional utility hook suitable for storage and temporary hanging of the tool.

Warning: 

Always disconnect tool from air supply before making adjustments or before attempting any part 

assembly or disassembly. 
1. Make sure sequential actuation mode is selected (See Actuation Mode above)
2. Depress the utility hook release button on the hook body (Fig 18)
3. Slide the utility hook into the hook attachment slot. (Fig 19)
4. Release the utility hook release button and check to ensure that the hook is locked in position. (Fig 20)

WARNING! Never use the utility hook with the contact actuation mode.

INTEGRATED AIR BLOWER (FIG 21, 22)

The DA1564SP-A has an integrated air blower that helps clean debris while working. Press the integrated air 
blower button. Compressed air will be ejected out from front of the tool. Released the button to stop blowing air.

DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY

 Risk of injury, do not direct air stream at persons or animals.

INTEGRATED PENCIL SHARPENER - DA1564SP-A

A pencil sharpener is integrated into the magazine for the operator’s convenience. To sharpen a pencil, insert any 
standard pencil into the hole and rotate the pencil to the right (clockwise) to sharpen. Check compatability before use.

IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING FOR SAFE OPERATION:

• Respect your BOSTITCH pneumatic fastening tool as a tool. It is not a toy. No Horseplay.
• Use the BOSTITCH pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which it was designed.
•  Never use the tool in a manner that could cause a fastener to be directed towards the user or others in the work area.
• Do not use the tool as a hammer.
•  Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the tool by the air hose. Never carry the tool with the trigger pulled.
•  Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design or function without the written approval of BOSTITCH
• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
• Never clamp or tape the trigger or safety yoke in an actuated position.
• Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
• Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible WARNING LABEL.
•  Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does not function properly. Notify your nearest BOSTITCH representative 

if your tool continues to experience functional problems.

•  During operation, hold the tool in such a way that no injuries can be caused to the head or to the body should the tool 

recoil increase due to a drop in the supply air pressure or hard areas within the work piece.

•  Do not work close to corners or at the edge of the work piece. The fastener could slip out of the work piece, possibly 

causing injury.
