Troubleshooting
Cable Bow not securely fastened
Ensure the Bosch GNB 18v Nailer is properly loaded and in good working order. Verify the mounting surface is suitable and the nail has penetrated sufficiently. For screw mounting, check that the screws are tight and the dowels are correctly installed.
Difficulty inserting cables
Confirm that the total number and diameter of cables do not exceed the EPB-16's capacity (up to 16 x 1.5mm²). Slightly loosen the cables if they are too tightly bundled before insertion.
Bows detaching over time
Re-evaluate the mounting surface; it may be too soft or crumbly. If using screws, ensure they are the correct size and type for the material. For nailer installations, consider using longer compatible nails if the surface allows.
