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 brushes be
examined. Only genuine Bosch replacement
brushes specially designed for your tool
should be used.
BEARINGS
After about 300-400 hours of operation, or
at every second brush change, the bearings
should be replaced at Bosch Factory
Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service
Station. 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.
If an extension cord is
WARNING
!
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
