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 brush es be examined. Only genuine Bosch replace ment 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 Au thorized Bosch Service Station. 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.
