Bosch Professional GSB 18 V-21 Original Instructions Manual page 19

Working in especially dusty environments can lead to
u
failure of the power tool. If the power tool suddenly
fails, remove the carbon brushes and check them (see
section "Replacing the carbon brushes").
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and cleaning
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Replacing the carbon brushes (see figure C)
Check the length of the carbon brushes around every 2–3
months and replace both carbon brushes if required.
Never replace only a single carbon brush.
Note: Only use carbon brushes supplied by Bosch and inten-
ded specifically for your product.
– Unscrew the caps (6) using a suitable screwdriver.
– Replace the spring-loaded carbon brushes (14) and
screw the caps back on.
If the battery is no longer working, please contact an author-
ised after-sales service agent for Bosch power tools.
