Assembly
Loading the Magazine (see figure A)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
B Use only original Bosch accessories. The preci-
sion components of the tacker, such as magazine,
striker and impact channel, are adapted for Bosch
staples, nails or pins. Other manufacturers use dif-
ferent 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
2
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
.
Switching On and Off
At first, firmly place the tacker head 7 against the work-
piece until it is pushed in a few millimeters. After-
wards, 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 val-
ues.
When operating with two staples (Duotac function),
the hammer-force preselection must be set approx. one
level higher with the thumbwheel 2.
