Yes, Bostitch fuel cells are compatible with most leading tool brands. Check compatibility on the fuel packs and be sure to follow the instructions on the enclosed sheet for correct fitting and safety procedures.

Our standard fuel cells are low pressure.

The tool and fuel cells operate most efficiently between 0° C and +40° C.

A full charge should drive 600 nails.

In good conditions, 1 hour is sufficient. On first use, the battery may need longer.

Firstly eliminate the obvious - i.e. is the charger switched on? Is the battery in good condition? If these are not the root cause of the problem, ensure that the sequence in which the charger and the battery are docked are correctly followed. The charger should be switched on first, and then the battery inserted. Failure to follow the procedure may result in the battery not charging correctly.

Tools can be used at 1 shot per second- easily enough for most applications.

Like any combustion engine, our tools need oxygen to help create an efficient ignition. Consequently, performance issues can occur in areas where the altitude is higher than 1500M.

Remember, Bostitch cordless all use sequential trip actions for safer working. Be sure to follow the correct sequence as detailed in the operation manual.

Check the indicator lights. Is the battery fully charged?

Check the fuel cell is connected properly and isn’t empty.

1. Check that there are fasteners in the tool. Bostitch cordless tools come with a nail-lock out mechanism which prevents the tool driving unless there are fasteners in the magazine. Reload and try again.
2. The tool may be too cold or too hot. Wait for the tool to return to room temperature and try again.
3. Sometimes, after a jam, the driver can be stuck in the down position. Follow the instruction to remove any jammed fasteners and push the driver to the return position.

The flashing light on the tool indicates the battery condition. Flashing green means the battery is charged. Flashing red means the battery is low and should be charged. No light means the battery is depleted and must be charged. Charge time is approximately 1 hour.
