To avoid accidents, always disconnect battery pack from tool before cleaning or performing any
maintenance.
Service
All tool service should be
performed by a Bosch Fac-
tory Service Center or an Authorized Bosch Service
Station. Preventive maintenance performed by unau-
thorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal
wires and components which could cause serious haz-
ard.
Batteries
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their
end of life. If you notice decreased tool performance
or significantly shorter running time between charges
then it is time to replace the battery pack. Failure to do
so can cause the tool to operate improperly or damage
the charger.
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.
Periodically lubricate moving parts with a silicone, or
light oil spray. Do not use grease because it tends to
attract and hold sawdust.

Maintenance and Lubrication
Bearings
Cleaning
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 lubrica-
tion is required.
Certain cleaning agents and
solvents damage plastic
parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetra-
chloride, 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.
