General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific Safety Warnings
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
- Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock. Connect machines that are used in the open via a residual current device (RCD).
- Keep your fingers away from the tacker head 7. There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
- Never point the machine at persons or animals. Staples or nails shot from a short distance can cause considerable injuries.
- Do not use the machine to fasten electrical wiring. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.

Assembly
Loading the Magazine (see figure A)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
Use only original Bosch accessories. The precision components of the tacker, such as magazine, striker and impact channel, are adapted for Bosch staples, nails or pins. Other manufacturers use different steel qualities and measures. Press on both sides of the magazine slider 3 and pull out the magazine 11. Insert the staple strip 10 or the nail strip 9. Hold the tacker at a slight angle when inserting the nail strip 9, so that the nails face against the sidewall. Slide in the magazine 11 until the closure on the magazine slider 3 engages.
Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
At first, firmly place the tacker head 7 against the workpiece until it is pushed in a few millimeters. Afterwards, briefly press the trigger 1 and then release again.
The trigger lock, which is connected with the movable tacker head 7, prevents unintentional shot actuation when the trigger 1 is inadvertently pressed.
For rapid working, keep the trigger 1 pressed. Position the machine and press the tacker head 7 firmly against the workpiece until the shot is actuated. After the shot, move the tacker to the next location and press the tacker head 7 firmly onto the workpiece again.
Hammer-force Preselection
With the thumbwheel for hammer-force preselection 2, it is possible to preselect the required hammer force in steps.
The required hammer force depends on the length of the staples or nails, and on the strength of the material. The optimal hammer-force setting is best determined through practical testing.
The data in the following table are recommended values.
When operating with two staples (Duotac function), the hammer-force preselection must be set approx. one level higher with the thumbwheel 2.
| Structural Material | mm | mm | Position of Thumb-wheel 2 | |
| Hardwood (Beech) | 6 | - | 3 | 4 |
| 8 | - | 3-4 | 4 | |
| 10 | - | 4 | 5 | |

Duotac-automatic
With the Duotac-automatic function, two staples are shot at the same time. Shooting two staples at the same time prevents tearing out, e.g., of thin fabrics or foils. The Duotac function is not possible when working with nails.
To shoot two staples at the same time, push the selector switch for Duotac-automatic 8 upward. To shoot one staple or one nail, push the selector switch for Duotac-automatic 8 downward.
Operating Instructions
This machine is not suitable for working with 19 mm staples. Therefore, do not use the machine to fasten ceiling panelling with profiled wood or grooves.
Avoid blank shots in order to reduce the wear of the impact striker. After finishing your work, set the hammer force with the thumbwheel for hammer-force preselection 2 to a low value, in order to relieve the tension spring.
The machine is designed only for intermittent operation and will warm up with continuous use. The tacking force is reduced as a result of heating up. Therefore, allow the machine to cool off after 15 minutes (maximum) of continuous operation.
Stapler Plate (see figure B)
With the stapler plate 13, materials with a thickness of up to 8 mm such as notepads, seminar paperwork, thin-walled pressboard or fabrics, can be stapled.
Depending on the click-on position of the stapler plate 13, the stapler tips are bent toward the inside or outside.
The data in the following table are recommended values. Determine the settings for double-staple application (Duotac) through practical testing. The staples used must be 3 - 4 mm longer than the thickness of the material.
| Staple length | mm | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
| Material thickness | mm | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 |
| Position of Thumb-wheel 2 | |||||
| Stapling paper | 3 | 3-4 | 5 | 6 | |
| Stapling fabric | 1 | 2 | 2-3 | 3 |
Support Foot (see figure B)
The support foot 12 enables exact vertical placement of the machine.
Spacer Clamp (see figure C)
The spacer clamp 14 enables tacking of staples/nails with consistent clearance to the workpiece edges. The variable possibilities for clicking on allows for many clearance levels.
