Tips
Torque rods have shanks with precisely calibrated, reduced
diameters. Thus, they act torque-limiting. A torque rod is
placed between the impact wrench and the bit.
Rule of thumb for the application: Core diameter of the
screw/bolt = effective diameter of the torque rod. The impact
duration is to be determined through practical testing.
The thumbwheel 6 must be set to max.
For hanging up, a suspension hook 3 is mounted at the ma-
chine's centre of gravity.
At temperatures below the freezing point, run the machine
for approx. 3 minutes at no-load to improve its lubricating
capacity.

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 replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in
order to avoid a safety hazard.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-
turing 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 in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the machine.
