Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

Loading the magazine (see figures A1–A4)
Remove the rechargeable battery before adjusting the
u
tool settings, changing accessories, or storing the
power tool. This safety measure prevents the power tool
from being started accidentally.
Use only original Bosch accessories. 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 different steel grades and sizes.
Using unapproved fasteners 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 body or at
other persons.
– Clean the magazine slider (13) as required and make sure
that the magazine (12) is not contaminated.
– Insert a suitable nail strip (16) in the T-slot at the end of
the magazine (12).

– Push the nail strip forwards in the magazine until the last
nail is positioned in front of the magazine spring (17).
Note: A lock function of the magazine slider prevents the
power tool from being started with an empty magazine. The
discharge lock-off cannot be pressed down and blank firing
is thus prevented.

magazine slider (13) and, at the same time, pull the
magazine slider completely to the end of the

force (finger-pressure). A tight-running magazine slider
causes the nails to be driven in at an incorrect angle.
– With the nail pusher (13) pressed, carefully guide the
magazine slider (14) forwards until the nail pusher is over
the last nail, thus pushing the nail strip in the magazine
