Maintenance And Service; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bosch 12-2 Original Instructions Manual

When driving in screws, wait until the screw is
screwed in flush with the material and then re-
lease the On/Off switch 10. By doing so, the
head of the screw does not penetrate into the
material.
Working Advice
Apply the power tool to the screw only
when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts
can slip off.
Tips
After longer periods of working at low speed, al-
low the machine to cool down by running it for
approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no
load.
For drilling in metal, use only perfectly sharp-
ened HSS drill bits (HSS=high-speed steel). The
appropriate quality is guaranteed by the Bosch
accessories program.
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard
materials, it is advisable to predrill a pilot hole
with the core diameter of the thread to approx.
2
/ of the screw length.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine (e. g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rota-
tional direction switch to the centre posi-
tion. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off
switch can lead to injuries.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
