Loading the magazine (see figures A1–A2)

Use only original Bosch accessories. The power tool's precision parts, such as the magazine, outlet and shot duct, are adapted to staples, nails and pins from Bosch. Other manufacturers use different steel grades and sizes.

Note: Only use fasteners specified in the "Technical Data" table.

Using unapproved fasteners can damage the power tool and cause injuries.

When loading the magazine, hold the power tool in such a manner that the outlet (1) is not pointed at your body or at other persons.

• Press the switch (10) to open the magazine. The magazine slider (11) extends.
• Insert the nail strip (17) in the top left part of the magazine (18).

Note: Only refill the magazine with nails of the same length. Remove the nails from the magazine before inserting nails of a different length.

Note: Electronic monitoring detects whether nails can be found in the magazine. If the discharge lock-off is depressed when the magazine is empty, no discharging procedure is triggered. Blank firing is thus prevented.

• To close the magazine (18), carefully guide the magazine slider (11) forwards to the beginning of the magazine (18).

Note: The magazine slider must slide back with only low force (finger-pressure). A jammed magazine slider has the following effects: The nail is not discharged, the nail gets caught in the shot duct (see jam) or the nail is discharged at the wrong angle.
