Accessories
If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used.
This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE:
The smaller the gauge number, the
higher the cord capacity.

Service
Preventive maintenance
performed
by
unauthorized person nel 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 Autho rized Bosch Service Station.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Skilsaw 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.
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 Skilsaw
replace ment brushes specially designed for your
tool should be used.
BEARINGS
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.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents
always dis connect the
tool from the power supply before cleaning
or performing any main tenance.
The tool
may be cleaned most effectively with
compressed dry air.
Always wear safety
gog gles when cleaning tools with
compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not at tempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through openings.
Certain cleaning agents
and sol vents damage
plastic parts.
Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachlo ride, chlo rinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and house hold detergents
that contain ammonia.
CARE OF BLADES
Blades become dull even from cutting. If you
find yourself forcing the saw forward to cut
instead of just guiding it through the cut,
chances are the blade is dull.
Do not re-sharpen this
blade. Once it becomes
dull, discard it and replace it with a new
blade.
