Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to
move freely and retract automatically. Therefore,
always keep the area around the retracting blade
guard clean. Remove dust and chips by blowing out
with compressed air or with a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected
against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil.
Before use, the oil must be removed again, otherwise
the wood will become soiled.

Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces
poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately
after use.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should
be carried out by an after-sales service centre for
Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please
always include the 10-digit article number given on
the type plate of the machine.

ing a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
