 Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fas-
tener causing an injury.
 Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firm-
ly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact
with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away
from your target.
 Disconnect the tool from the power source when the
fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed
fastener, the tacker may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
 Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The
mechanism may be under compression and the fasten-
er may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free
a jammed condition.
 Do not use this tacker for fastening electrical cables.
It is not designed for electric cable installation and may
damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local util-
ity company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line
can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage.
 Observe the conditions of the job site. It is possible
that fasteners can burst through thin workpieces or be
deflected when working in corners or against edges,
and harm persons.
 When working, hold the power tool in such a manner
that your head and body cannot be injured in case of
sudden kickback due to a malfunction of the energy
supply or from hard objects/locations in the work-
piece.
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
 Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage
listed on the nameplate of your power tool. When us-
ing other batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned bat-
teries or other brands, there is danger of injury as well
as property damage through exploding batteries.

Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to
EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
Sound pressure level 91 dB(A); Sound power level
102 dB(A). Uncertainty K =3 dB.

Vibration total values a and uncertainty K determined ac-

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet
has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool
with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment
of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for dif-
ferent applications, with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should
also take into account the times when the tool is switched
off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This
may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and
the accessories, keep hands warm, organise work pat-
terns.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery
in the battery charger before using your power tool for the

first time.
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging proce-

Removing the battery (see figure A)
The battery 8 has two locking levels, which are supposed
to prevent the battery from falling out in case of vibrations
approx. 700 nails
from intensive use.
– Press battery unlocking button 7 (1.) and at the same
time push the battery toward the front.
– Press the battery unlocking button 7 (2.) again and pull
the battery out completely, toward the rear.
Loading the Magazine (see figures B1

.
 Use only original Bosch accessories (see "Technical
Data"). The precision parts of the power tool, such as
the magazine, the outlet and the shot duct, are matched
to Bosch staples, nails and brads. Other manufacturers
use other steel qualities and sizes.
Using fasteners not permitted can damage the power
tool and cause injuries.
While loading the magazine, hold the power tool in such a
manner that the outlet 15 is not pointed at your own body
or at other persons.
– Clean the magazine slider 13 as required and make sure
that the magazine 12 is not dirty/soiled.
– Insert a fitting nail strip 16 in the T-slot at the end of the
magazine 12.
– Push the nail strip in the magazine toward the front until
the last nail is positioned in front of the magazine spring
17.
Note: A lock function of the magazine slider prevents the
power tool from being started with an empty magazine.
The discharge lock-off cannot be pressed in and blank fir-
ing is thus prevented.
– Press the pretensioned nail pusher 14 against the mag-
azine slider 13 and at the same time, pull the magazine
slider completely to the end of the magazine 12.
Note: The magazine slider must slide back with only low
force (finger-pressure). A tight-running magazine slider
causes the nails to be driven in at an incorrect angle.
