Maintenance

Service

!WARNING Preventive maintenance

performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Autho- rized Bosch Service Station.

TOOL LUBRICATION

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.

CHUCK LUBRICATION

The wrenchless chuck has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. If the chuck's jaws begin to stick during use, the chuck requires lubrication. To lubricate the chuck, first remove debris from the inside of the chuck with compressed air. Apply a pea- sized amount of general-purpose grease to the sides of the jaws, and adjust the chuck through its full range of motion to distribute the grease.

CARBON BRUSHES

The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service . To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every two to six months the brushes be examined.

Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.

BEARINGS

After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at every second brush change, the bearings should be replaced at Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station. Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid overheating or motor failure.

Cleaning

!WARNING To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from

the power supply before cleaning or performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed 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 objects through openings.

!CAUTION Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage

plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

Extension Cords

If an extension cord is ! WARNING necessary, a cord with

adequate size conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
