BATTERIES

Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their end of life. If you notice decreased tool performance or significantly shorter running time between charges then it is time to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so can cause the tool to operate improperly or damage the charger.

TOOL LUBRICATION

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use.

CARBON BRUSHES

The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service.

If your tool runs sporadically, loses power, makes unusual noises or runs at a reduced speed, check the brushes. To continue using the tool in this condition will permanently damage your tool.

Check both brushes. Usually the brushes will not wear out simultaneously. If one brush is worn out, replace both brushes.

To check brushes: Disconnect battery pack from tool. Rotate brush cap at the rear part of housing counter-clockwise with a coin or screwdriver and remove cap (Fig. 10).

Lift out the brushes; note which way they face, so that the brushes can be returned to their original position. New brushes can also be inserted turned 180º. Clean the brush holder openings with compressed air or a clean cloth and replace the brushes and brush covers.

After replacing brushes the tool should be run at no-load and run it freely at full speed for 2
