AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as
tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200 P.S.I.G. as tool may burst,
possibly causing injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a
wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will
be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected possibly causing injury.
Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm while connected to the air supply as the tool may
cycle, possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool;
3.) When clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area,
as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
LOADING TOOL
When loading tool: 1.) Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of
tool; 2.) Never point tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
OPERATION
Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Never pull the trigger
unless nose is directed toward the work; 3.) Keep others a safe distance from the tool while
tool is in operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact arm tools except during fastening
operation as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or
something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact arm tool may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven
possibly causing injury.
Check operation of the contact arm mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the arm
is not working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with
the proper operation of the contact arm mechanism.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as
this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work piece as the wood may split, allowing
the fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.

TRIP OPERATION MODE
Always disconnect air supply before making adjustments as accidental actuation may
occur, possibly causing injury.
Always verify and be aware of tool operating mode by inspecting the trigger before
connecting to an air supply and / or using the tool.
The DA1564K features a selectable trigger system that allows the user to choose between the following
modes of operation:
NEVER use the belt hook with the tool in contact mode, ALWAYS switch the tools
operation mode back to sequential before using the belt hook option.
The common operation procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to
actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work surface
is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil
when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact the
work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener
will be driven.
2. SEQUENTIAL TRIP:
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes
accurate fastener placement easier. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of
driving a second fastener on recoil as described under “Contact Trip”. The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive
advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work surface - or
anything else - while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
SELECTING THE TRIP MODE:
To ensure safety, the user must lock the trigger (as described above) before changing the trigger system. To
change the trip mode, rotate the mode switch in the counterclockwise direction. The mode switch will lock
automatically when the indicating arrow is pointing down to the 3 nail icon stamped into the tool frame (Contact
Trip Mode) or to a single nail icon stamped in the tool frame( Sequential Trip Mode). Unlock the trigger to
resume tool operation.

TOOL OPERATION
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and
others in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing this
tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could

equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:
I. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
II. REFER TO “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON
YOUR TOOL.
OPERATION
1. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
NEVER use the belt hook with the tool in contact mode, ALWAYS switch the tools
operation mode back to sequential before using the belt hook option.
In CONTACT TRIP MODE the tool contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to
drive a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.
A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact trip
on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip until the nose
touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against
the work with extra force. Instead, allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second
unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation.
B. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact
trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact trip
against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a
fastener to be driven.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening
operation, as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or
something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be
driven, possibly causing injury.
2. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:
In SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODE the contact trip operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener.
To operate a sequ-ential trip tool, first position the contact trip on the work surface WITHOUT PULLING
THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. As long as the
contact trip is contacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a fastener each time the trigger
is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the work surface, the sequence described above must
be repeated to drive another fastener.

MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL
When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care evaluating
problem tools.
CAUTION: Pusher spring (constant force spring). Caution must be used when working with the spring
assembly. The spring is wrapped around, but not attached to, a roller. If the spring is extended beyond
its length, the end will come off the roller and the spring will roll up with a snap, with a chance of
pinching your hand. Also the edges of the spring are very thin and could cut. Care must also be taken
to insure no permanent kinks are put in the spring as this will reduce the springs force.
REPLACEMENT PARTS:
Use only genuine BOSTITCH replacement parts. Do not use modified parts.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:
When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker “O”-LUBE, Magnalube,
or equivalent on all “O”-rings. Coat each “O”-ring with lubricant before assembling.
AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME:
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of
undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent
the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be
slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace
the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, low points containing water and
anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.
