Maintenance
Service
NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing 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 Authorized Bosch Service Station. SERVICEMEN: Disconnect tool and/or charger from power source before servicing.
BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their end of life. Battery packs typically last from 500 to 1000 charges. 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.
Long term battery storage should be in the discharged state. Battery packs last longer and
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use.
D.C. MOTORS
The motor in your tool has been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend it be examined every six months. Only a genuine Bosch replacement motor specially designed for your tool should be used.
BEARINGS
Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid overheating and motor failure.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool and/or charger from the power supply before
cleaning. 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 opening.
Certain cleaning agents and ! CAUTION solvents damage plastic
parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
