D.C. Motors
The motor in your tool has been engineered
for many hours of dependable service. To
maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we

months. Only a genuine Bosch replacement
motor specially designed for your tool
should be used.
Bearings
Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy
load or very abrasive material cutting)

Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be

Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia,
etc. may damage plastic parts.
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, remove the battery from the saw
and remove the blade. Remember, blades
are designed to cut, so handle carefully.
Wipe the blade with kerosene or similar
s o l v e n t t o r e m o v e t h e g u m a n d p i t c h .
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
blades, we recommend you do not try.
To avoid accidents, always disconnect battery pack from tool before cleaning
or performing any maintenance.
