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. WARNING OBJ_BUCH-1439-003.book Page 9 Thursday, November 19, 2015 10:48 AM10 | English 1 609 92A 1XJ | (19.11.15) Bosch Power Tools 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 en- ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci- dents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro- tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel- lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex- traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con- nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re- duce dust-related hazards. Power tool use and care 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. 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. 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. 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. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind- ing 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. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac- cordance 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. Service Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per- son using only identical replacement parts. This will en- sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety Warnings for Tackers Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Care- less handling of the tacker can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone near- by. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener caus- ing an injury. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly 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 fas- tener, 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 fastener 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 dam- age the insulation of electric cables thereby causing elec- tric shock or fire hazards. Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com- pany 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 dam- age. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp- ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author- ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock- et elsewhere. Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de- vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level 84 dB(A); Sound power level 95 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB. Wear hearing protection! Vibration total values a

and uncertainty K determined ac- cording to EN 60745:

The vibration 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 anoth- er. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap- plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is 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 sig- nificantly 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 the hands warm, organisation of work pat- terns. Declaration of Conformity We declare under our sole responsibility that the product de- scribed under “Technical Data” is in conformity with all rele- vant provisions of the directives 2011/65/EU, 2014/30/EU, 2006/42/EC including their amendments and complies with the following standards: EN 60745+1, EN 60745+2+16, EN 50581.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it. Starting and Stopping (Single actuation) –At first, firmly place the tacker head 1 against the work- piece until it is pushed in a few millimeters. Afterwards, briefly press the trigger 4 and then release again. Starting and Stopping (Contact actuation) – For rapid working, keep the trigger 4 pressed. Position the machine and press the tacker head 1 firmly against the workpiece until the shot is actuated. After the shot, move the tacker to the next location and press the tacker head 1 firmly onto the workpiece again. DuoTac-Automatic In DuoTac-Automatic mode, 2 staples are fastened at the same time. The double staple thickness increases the tear strength of thin materials, such as fabrics or foils. The DuoTac function is not possible for processing nails. – To process 2 staples at the same time, push the DuoTac- Automatic selector switch 2 up. To process a single staple or one nail, push the DuoTac-Automatic selector switch 2 down. Hammer-force Preselection With the thumbwheel for hammer-force preselection 5, it is possible to preselect the required hammer force in steps. The required hammer force depends on the length of the sta- ples or nails, and on the strength of the material. When processing 2 staples (DuoTac function), the hammer- force preselection must be selected approx. one step higher with thumbwheel 5. Note: Always test the selected hammer force on scrap mate- rial first. The optimum hammer-force setting can be deter- mined only by trial and error. The data in the following table are recommended values. Setting range of the thumbwheel 5 Working Advice 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 5 to a low val- ue, in order to relieve the tension spring. The power tool is designed for short-time duty and will heat up during continuous operation. Performance will decrease the more the tool heats up. Duty rating S2 denotes short-time duty with a maximum operating duration of 10 mins under constant load. Switch the power tool off after this time and leave it to cool down. Removing jammed staples Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. – Turn the power tool around. – Press release buttons 6 and pull out the magazine 9 toward the rear. – Remove the jammed staple. For this, use a pair of pliers, if required. – Insert the magazine 9 again until it engages. Load the magazine in good time. If the staple strip is too short, this may cause staples to jam. Maintenance and Service Maintenance and Cleaning Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or- der to avoid a safety hazard.
