Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
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.
Bosch Power Tools
If the replacement of the supply cord is neces-
sary, this has to be done by Bosch or an author-
ized Bosch service agent in order to avoid a safe-
ty hazard.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article number
given on the type plate of the machine.
Replacing the Carbon Brushes (see figure C)
Check the length of the carbon brushes approx.
every 2–3 months and replace the carbon brush-
es if required.
Never replace only a single carbon brush!
Criteria for replacement of the carbon brushes: A
dotted or broken line is visible on one of the large
side surfaces of each carbon brush. When either
of both carbon brushes is used up to this line,
then both carbon brushes should be replaced im-
mediately in order to protect the armature
against possible damage.
Note: Use only carbon brushes supplied by
Bosch and intended specifically for your product.
– Unscrew the caps 6 using a suitable screw-
driver.
– Replace the spring-loaded carbon brushes 10
and screw the caps back on again.
