Maintenance and Service
Maintenance
Stop, remove plug from the power supply and discon-
u
nect from water supply.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the fol-
lowing maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose fixings,
and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly
fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before

after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
