Bosch Power Tools
Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the Battery
Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the
u
voltage stated on the type plate of your power tool.
Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire
hazard.
Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can
lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Slide the charged battery (18) from behind into the foot of
the power tool. Press the battery fully into the foot until the
battery is securely locked.
Setting the Volume Flow Rate
The volume flow rate of the switched on caulking gun can be
variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch
(13) is pressed.
You can use the volume flow rate limiter (11) to preset the
maximum feed rate of the rack (7). High values mean a high
rack rate, while small values mean a low rack rate.
The maximum volume flow rate can also be readjusted dur-
ing operation.
The amount of material squeezed out also depends on the
size of the dispensing nozzle opening.

Switching on/off

To start operation of the caulking gun, press the On/Off
switch (13).
To switch off the caulking gun, let go of the On/Off switch
(13). Once you let go of the On/Off switch, the rack is
moved back a short way to remove the pressure from the
sealing compound. This ensures that no more sealing com-
pound is squeezed out after you let go of the On/Off switch.
The locking mechanism (14) can be used to lock the On/Off
switch (13) to prevent it from being switched on uninten-
tionally.
Temperature-dependent Overload Protection
If the permissible temperature is exceeded, the caulking gun
switches off. Let the caulking gun cool down and then switch
the caulking gun back on.

Practical Advice

Comply with the manufacturer's instructions regard-
u
ing the material to be applied. Certain materials can
only be used within a certain temperature range or can
only be applied to specific surfaces.
Open and use the cartridges and sachets (foil bags) in
u
accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
Only trim the nozzle if the material is securely within
u
the barrel for sachets (foil bags)/cartridges.
Attach the power tool to the hanging hook (9) when
u
working on a ladder, for example. To do this, open the
hanging hook (9) as far as necessary in order to be able to
hang the caulking gun securely.
