Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 Thoroughly clean the individual parts of the fine-spray
system after each use, especially all paint-carrying
components. Proper cleaning is a prerequisite for fault-
less and safe operation of the spray gun. No warranty
claims will be accepted if cleaning has not been done at all
or has not been done properly.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.

The air filter 26 must be cleaned occasionally. The air filter
must be replaced if it is heavily soiled.
– Open the air filter cover 23.
– Remove the air filter 26.
– Light soiling:
Tap the air filter 26 to empty it.
or
Heavy soiling:
Clean the air filter 26 under running water and then leave it
dry thoroughly to prevent mould from forming.

Cleaning the Fine-spray System (see figure K)

tive diluting agent (paint thinner or water) for the spray mate-
rial being used.
Never clean the nozzle and air holes in the spray gun with
pointed objects.

from the spray gun 1 (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 18
counterclockwise; pull the bayonet lock 18 out of the port
4/24).
– Clean the base unit if necessary with a cloth moistened
with diluting agent and then remove the base unit 19 and
the air hose 17 from the immediate cleaning environment.

spray material can flow back into the container.

material back into the original spray material.

or water) and fit it to the spray gun 1 again.
