▶ Cleaning
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.
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.
Check regularly to make sure the lower guard
and all moving parts are working properly.
▶ Care of Blades
Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it
through the cut, chances are the blade is dull
or coated with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from
blade, unplug the saw and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle carefully. Wipe the blade with
kerosene or similar solvent to remove the
gum and pitch. Unless you are experienced in
sharpening blades, we recommend you do
not try.
▶ Tool Lubrication
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready to use. It is recommended that
tools with gears be regreased with a special
gear lubricant at every brush change.
Periodically lubricate moving parts with a
silicone, or light oil spray. Do not use grease
because it tends to attract and hold sawdust.
▶ Bearings
All bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for
the life of the unit under normal operating
conditions. No further lubrication is required.
Maintenance and Lubrication
To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool and/or charger from the power
supply before servicing or cleaning.
