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.
– With the nail pusher 14 pressed, carefully guide the
magazine slider 13 toward the front until the nail pusher
is over the last nail, thus pushing the nail strip in the
magazine completely to the front.
Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without
guiding it. Otherwise, the magazine slider could become
damaged, and there is danger of your fingers being caught
or pinched.
Operation
Actuation system
Single actuation with safety run
With this actuation system, the discharge lock-off 2 must
first be firmly pressed against the workpiece. A fastener is
not discharged until the trigger 6 is pulled.
Afterwards, further discharging procedures can only be ac-
tuated, when the trigger and the discharge lock-off have
first been set back to the starting position.

Starting Operation

Block the actuation system and remove
the battery before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or placing
the power tool aside. This safety measure
prevents accidental starting of the power
tool.
Inserting the battery
 Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
 If the trigger 6 and the discharge lock-off 2 are
pressed and held longer than 1 second after firing a
nail, it is possible that further nails are fired due to a
kickback-effect.
Blocking the Actuation System
Block the actuation system before making any adjustments
on the power tool, changing accessories, placing the ma-
chine aside for longer breaks or after finishing work.
– Press switch 5 toward the left to block
the actuation system.
This prevents a nail from being shot out,
even when the discharge lock-off 2 is po-
sitioned against the workpiece and the
trigger 6 is pulled.

Working Advice

Block the actuation system and remove
the battery before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or placing
the power tool aside. This safety measure
prevents accidental starting of the power
tool.
Check the proper function of the safety and actuation de-
vices, and the tight seating of all screws and nuts each time
before using.
Disconnect a defective or not properly operating power
tool immediately from of the power supply and contact an
authorised service agent for Bosch power tools.
Do not perform any incorrect manipulations on the power
tool. Do not disassemble or block any components of the
power tool, such as the discharge lock-off.
Do not carry out "emergency repairs" with unsuitable
means. The power tool is to be maintained regularly and
properly (see "Maintenance and Cleaning", page 13).
Avoid any tampering and damage to the power tool, e. g.
from:
– Imprinting or engraving,
– Retrofitting measures not approved by the manufactur-
er,
– Guiding along templates manufactured of hard material,
e. g. steel,
– Dropping on or sliding over the floor,
– Using as a hammer,
– Applying any kind of force.
Make sure to check whatever is below or behind your work-
piece. Do not shoot nails into walls, ceilings or floors, when
persons are behind them. The nails can burst through the
workpiece and injure someone.
Do not shoot a nail onto an already driven-in one. This

– Empty the magazine 12.
(See "Emptying the Magazine", page 13)
– Nails are driven in too deeply:
To reduce the driving depth, turn thumb-
wheel 4 in anticlockwise direction.
or
Nails are not driven in deep enough:
To increase the driving depth, turn thumb-
wheel 4 in clockwise direction.
– Refill the magazine.
(See "Loading the Magazine", page 12)
– Test the new driving depth on a test workpiece.
Repeat the worksteps as required.
Clearing Jams (see figures F1 – F2)
Single nails can become jammed in the shot duct. If this
should occur frequently, please contact an authorised ser-
vice agent for Bosch power tools.
Note: When the driver blade does not return after clearing
a jam, please contact an authorised service agent for
Bosch power tools.
– Release the trigger 6.
– Block the actuation system (see "Blocking the Actuation
System", page 13) and remove the battery 8.
– Empty the magazine 12.
(See "Emptying the Magazine", page 13)
– Press clamping lever 3 down so that the shot duct
opens.
– Remove the jammed nail. For this, us a pair of pliers, if
required.
– Close the shot duct, hang the clip of clamping lever 3 in-
to the hooks on the shot duct and then push the clamp-
ing lever up again.
– Refill the magazine.
(See "Loading the Magazine", page 12)
Changing the Workpiece Protector (see figure G)
The workpiece protector 1 at the end of the discharge lock-
off 2 protects the workpiece until the power tool is correct-
ly placed for the driving procedure.
The workpiece protector can be removed and replaced.
– Pull the workpiece protector from the discharge lock-
off.
– Push the new workpiece protector via the open end
over the discharge lock-off.
Note: A spare workpiece protector can be stored at the top
side of magazine 12. For this, push the workpiece protec-
tor into the depot 10.
Transport and Storage
When transporting the power tool, block the actuation sys-
