▶ 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
Preventive
maintenance
performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of internal
wires and components which could cause serious
hazard. We recommend that all tool service be
performed by a Bosch factory Service Center or
Authorized Bosch Service Station.
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.
