▶ Rip Board Guide
When rip cutting large sheets, the rip
fence may not allow the desired width
of cut.

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 -

▶ 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 brush es be examined. Only genuine
Bosch replace ment brushes specially
designed for your tool should be used.
▶ Bearings
Bearings which become noisy (due to
heavy load or very abrasive material cut -
ting) should be replaced at once to
avoid overheating or motor failure.
Operating Instructions

Maintenance

To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool and/or charger from the
power supply before servicing or cleaning.

▶ Cleaning
damage plastic parts. Some of these
are: gasoline, car bon tetrachloride,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia
and household detergents that contain
ammonia.
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.
Periodically remove the blade, clean
the upper, lower guards and the hub
area with kerosene and wipe it dry.
Preventive maintenance and properly
operating guard will reduce the
probability of an accident.
▶ Care of Blades
Blades become dull even from cutting
regular lumber. If you find yourself
forcing the saw forward to cut instead
of just guid ing it through the cut,
chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch
from blade, unplug the saw and remove
the blade. Remember, blades are
designed to cut, so handle carefully.
Wipe the blade with kerosene or similar
sol vent to remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you
sharpening blades, we recommend you
do not try.
