Working Advice

Before starting work, always check that the safety and actuation devices are functioning correctly and that all screws and nuts are tightly seated.
If a power tool is defective or not functioning properly, disconnect it immediately from the power supply and contact an authorised Bosch after-sales service centre. .

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.

Avoid any tampering and damage to the power tool, e. g. from:

Make sure to check whatever is below or behind your workpiece. 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 could cause the nail to deform, the nails could become jammed or the power tool could move in an uncontrolled manner.

Avoid pulling the trigger when the magazine is empty to minimise wear on the firing pin.

For longer work breaks or after finishing work, remove the rechargeable battery from the power tool and empty the magazine if possible. Place the power tool on a level surface so that the contact element is not activated.

  • Press the switch (10) to open the magazine. The magazine slider (11) extends.
  • Rotate the power tool so that the nail strip (17) slides out in the magazine (18).
  • To close the magazine (18), carefully guide the magazine slider (11) forwards to the beginning of the magazine (18).

The driving depth of the nails can be set with the thumbwheel (12).

  • Empty the magazine (18).
  • Nails are driven in too deep: To reduce the driving depth, turn the thumbwheel (12) in the "–" direction.

  • Nails are not driven in deep enough: To increase the driving depth, turn the thumbwheel (12) in the "+" direction.

  • Refill the magazine.
  • Test the new driving depth on a test workpiece.
    Repeat the worksteps as required.

Single nails can become jammed in the shot duct. If this should occur frequently, please contact an authorised Bosch after-sales service centre.

  • Release the trigger (6).
  • Remove the rechargeable battery (8) from the power tool.
  • Empty the magazine (18).
  • Release the screws for opening/closing the shot duct (4) using the hex key (13) and remove the shot duct cover (3) by moving and lifting it so that the shot duct is open.
  • Remove the jammed nail. Use a pair of pliers for this, if required.
  • Close the shot duct by putting on the shot duct cover (3) and pushing fully onto the stop at the power tool housing.
  • Tighten the screws for opening/closing the shot duct (4) using the hex key (13).
  • Refill the magazine (18).

The workpiece protector (2) at the end of the discharge lock-off (15) protects the workpiece until the power tool is correctly placed for the discharging procedure. The workpiece protector can be removed and replaced

  • Release the trigger (6).
  • Remove the rechargeable battery (8) from the power tool.
  • Empty the magazine (18).
  • Remove the workpiece protector from the discharge lock-off.
  • Push the new workpiece protector with the open end over the discharge lock-off.

Note: A workpiece protector (20) for working in tight spaces is stored at the bottom of the magazine (18). After changing the workpiece protector, push the other workpiece protector into the storage compartment (19).

Remove the rechargeable battery  from the power tool for transport.

At the workplace, carry the power tool only by the handle (16) and with the trigger (6) released.

Always store the power tool disconnected from the battery and in a dry and warm location.

When not using the power tool for an extended period of time, apply a fine oil coating to steel parts. This prevents the formation of rust.

You can use the belt hook (9) to hang the power tool on a belt, for example. You then have both hands free and the power tool is always within easy reach.
