Service
 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 main-
tained.
Safety Warnings for Cordless Tackers
 Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Careless handling of the tacker can result in unexpected
firing of fasteners and personal injury.
 Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fas-
tener causing an injury.
 Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firm-
ly 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
fastener, 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 fasten-
er 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
damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local util-
ity company 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 damage.
 Observe the conditions of the job site. It is possible
that fasteners can burst through thin workpieces or be
deflected when working in corners or against edges,
and harm persons.
 When working, hold the power tool in such a manner
that your head and body cannot be injured in case of
sudden kickback due to a malfunction of the energy
supply or from hard objects/locations in the work-
piece.
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
product. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
 The battery pack can be damaged by pointed objects
such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied ex-
ternally. An internal short circuit can occur and the bat-
tery pack can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

Noise/Vibration Information

Sound emission values determined according to
EN 60745-2-16.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
Sound pressure level 91 dB(A); Sound power level
102 dB(A). Uncertainty K =3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values a and uncertainty K determined ac-
h
2
cording to EN 60745:a <2.5 m/s , K=1.5 m/s
h
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 an-
other. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of expo-
sure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for dif-
ferent 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 significantly 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 patterns.
Declaration of Conformity
We declare under our sole responsibility that the product
described under "Technical Data" is in conformity with all
relevant 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.

Battery Charging
 Use only the chargers listed in the technical data.
Brads
Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion bat-
32–64
tery of your power tool.
1.6
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure
20°
full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery
105
in the battery charger before using your power tool for the
first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
nails
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging proce-
dure does not damage the battery.
295
The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the lithium-
96
ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is
334
discharged, the power tool is switched off by a protective
circuit: Fasteners can no longer be shot.
3.3 – 3.5**
After the automatic shut-off of the
power tool, do not continue to press
the trigger. The battery could become damaged.

Removing the battery (see figure A)
GBA 18V ..
The battery 8 has two locking levels, which are supposed
AL 18..
to prevent the battery from falling out in case of vibrations
GAL3680 from intensive use.
– Press battery unlocking button 7 (1.) and at the same
time push the battery toward the front.
– Press the battery unlocking button 7 (2.) again and pull
the battery out completely, toward the rear.
Loading the Magazine (see figures B1–B4)
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.

 Use only original Bosch accessories (see "Technical
.
Data"). The precision parts of the power tool, such as
the magazine, the outlet and the shot duct, are matched
to Bosch staples, nails and brads. Other manufacturers
use other steel qualities and sizes.
Using fasteners not permitted can damage the power
tool and cause injuries.
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.
