SERVICE
NO USER SERVICE-
ABLE PARTS INSIDE.
Preventive maintenance performed by un-
au thorized personnel may result in mis-
placing of internal wires and components
which could cause serious hazard. We
recom mend that all tool service be performed
by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Autho-
rized Bosch Service Station. SERVICE MEN:
Disconnect tool and/or charger from power
source before servicing.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use. It is recommended that
tools with gears be regreased with a special
gear lubricant at every brush change.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool
have been engineered for many hours of de-
pendable service. To maintain peak efficiency
of the motor, we recommend every two to six
months the brush es be examined. Only genu-
ine Bosch replace ment brushes specially de-
signed for your tool should be used.
BEARINGS
Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy
load or very abrasive material cut ting) should
be replaced at once to avoid overheating or
motor failure.
CLEANING
To avoid accidents, al-
ways disconnect the tool
and/or charger from the power supply be-
fore cleaning. The tool may be cleaned most
effectively with com pressed dry air. Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools
with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed ob-
jects through opening.
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
car bon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning sol-
vents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent exces-
sive voltage drop, loss of power or overheat-
ing. Grounded tools must use 3-wire exten-
sion cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
