AUxILIARy HANDLE
The tool must be supported with the auxiliary
handle, which can be swiveled 360˚. To
reposition and/or swivel the handle, loosen
the hand grip, move the handle to the
desired position along the barrel and
securely retighten the hand grip.
SLIP CLUTCH
The tool has a internal pre-set slip clutch.
The output spindle will stop rotating if the
accessory binds and overloads the tool.
"TOOL TIPS"
For the best penetration rates in concrete,
run the tool with a steady pressure, but do
not use excessive force as this will decrease
the efficiency of the tool.
All hammers require a short period of time to
warm up. Depending on the room
temperature, this time may vary from
approximately 15 seconds (90˚F) to 2
minutes (32˚F). A new hammer requires a
break-in period before full performance is
realized. This period may require up to 5
hours of operation.
A rotary hammer is likely to be the most
expensive portable tool at the construction
job. The long wear and efficient operation of
the BOSCH hammers will more than justify
the cost for tools of this type. As earlier
pointed out, sharp accessories as well as
clean air vents are necessary for efficient
operation. Establish and follow a set
maintenance program.

tools with gears be lubricated with Bosch
lubricant at every brush change.
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 brush es be examined.
Only genuine Bosch replace ment brushes
specially designed for your tool should be
used.
bEARINGS
Every second brush change, the bearings
should be replaced at Bosch Factory Service
Center or Au thorized 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.
