Bosch Professional GNH 18V-64 Original Instructions Manual page 20

20 | English
The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Battery Charging
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". A protective circuit
switches off the product in which the battery is being used
when the battery is discharged. No more fasteners are dis-
charged.
Do not continue to press the trigger switch after the
u
tool has been automatically switched off. This can
damage the battery.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Removing the Battery
The rechargeable battery (7) is equipped with two locking
levels to prevent the rechargeable battery from falling out if
the rechargeable battery release button (6) is pressed unin-
tentionally. The rechargeable battery is held in place by a
spring when fitted in the power tool.
– To remove the rechargeable battery (7), press the re-
lease button (6) and pull the battery out of the power
tool. Do not use force to do this.

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).
