To make it easier to remove old wallpaper, you can spray
warm water on the wallpaper (max. 55 °C).

Work Breaks and Transport (see figures K – L)
A carrying handle 22 and a carrying strap 21 are fitted to the
base unit to enable easy transport of the fine-spray system.
You can hang the base unit 20 across your shoulder during
work using the carrying strap 21.
The spray gun 1 can be put down on a flat work surface during
breaks. No spray material can leak out.
 Always put the spray gun upright on a flat surface when
it is filled with spray material. Spray material can leak
out from a spray gun if it is lying down.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 Thoroughly clean the individual parts of the fine-spray
system after each use, especially all paint-carrying
components. Proper cleaning is a prerequisite for fault-
less and safe operation of the spray gun. No warranty
claims will be accepted if cleaning has not been done at all
or has not been done properly.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
Cleaning (see figure M)
Always clean the spray gun and the container with the respec-
tive diluting agent (paint thinner or water) for the spray mate-
rial being used.
Never clean the nozzle and air holes in the spray gun with
pointed objects.
– Switch the base unit 20 off.
– Remove the air hose 18 both from the base unit 20 and
from the spray gun 1 (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 19
counterclockwise; pull the bayonet lock 19 out of the port
8/27).

or water) and fit it to the spray gun 1 again.

pletely into an empty material tin.

using the cleaning brush 25 or a standard washing-up
brush.

the suction tube 15.
Ensure that the container seal is positioned precisely all
around in the suction tube groove in order to seal the spray
gun correctly.
Make sure that you slide the suction tube 15 all the way
back onto the paint channel 17.
