Preventive maintenance
performed by unauth-
orized 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.
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
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.
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.

DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC
If backing block is not used, ease up on the
pressure just before the bit breaks through
the wood to avoid splintering. Complete the
hole from the opposite side immediately after
the point breaks through. If bit binds, reverse
the drilling operation to help remove the bit
f
rom the work.
DRILLING METAL
There are two rules for drilling hard materials.
First, the harder the material, the greater the
pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second,
the harder the material, the slower the speed.
Here are a couple of tips for drilling in metal.
Make a center punch in the material for
easier starting. Lubricate the tip of the bit
occasionally with cutting oil except when drilling
soft metals such as aluminum, copper or cast
iron. If the hole to be drilled is fairly large, drill a
smaller hole first, then enlarge to the required
size, it’s often faster in the long run. Maintain
enough pressure to assure that the bit does not
just spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and
greatly shorten its life.
DRILLING MASONRY
Use carbide-tipped masonry bit for cinder
block, mortar, common brick, soft stone and
other materials. The amount of pressure to
be used is dependent upon the type of
material being drilled. Soft materials require
less pressure while the hard materials need
more pressure to prevent the drill bit from
spinning.
