Operating Instructions
Sharpening Chisels (see figure C)
Good results are only achieved with sharp chis-
els; therefore, sharpen the chiselling tools in
good time. This ensures a long service life of the
tools and good working performance.
Re-sharpening
Sharpen chiselling tools using grinding wheels
(e. g. ceramic bonded corundum wheel) with a
steady supply of water. Reference values are
shown in the figure. Take care that no annealing
coloration appears on the cutting edges; this im-
pairs the hardness of the chiselling tools.
For forging, heat the chisel to between 850 and
1050 °C (bright red to yellow).
For hardening, heat the chisel to approx.
900 °C and quench in oil. Then anneal in an ov-
en for approx. one hour at 320 °C (annealing
colour = light blue).

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.
A damaged dust protection cap should be
changed immediately. We recommend hav-
ing this carried out by an after-sales serv-
ice.
Lubrication
The power tool is oil-lubricated. An oil change is
required only within the scope of maintenance
or repair through an authorised after-sales serv-
ice agent for Bosch power tools. In this, it is ab-
solutely required to use the specified Bosch oil.
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.
