Cleaning
WARNING!
To avoid accidents, always
disconnect the tool from the power supply
before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
The tool may be cleaned most effectively with
compressed air. Always wear safety goggles
when cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be
kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects
through openings.
CAUTION!
Certain cleaning agents and
solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these
are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents that contain ammonia.
Maintenance and Service

Bosch Factory Service Center.
