Maintenance
Disconnect the air hose from the air supply be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden-
tally.
Should the tool fail in spite of careful manufacturing
and testing procedures, have the repairs performed by
an authorized customer service location for Bosch
power tools.
For inquiries and spare parts ordering, please include
the 10-digit order number on the nameplate of the
tool.
Clean the screen of the air inlet
regularly. For this purpose, un-
screw the hose nipple 7 and re-
move dust and dirt particles from
the screen. Then firmly remount
8
the hose nipple.

To prevent damage to the internal
valve components of the tool, you should use an open
end wrench (22 mm) to apply a counterforce at the
protruding connector of the air inlet 8 when screw-
ing/unscrewing the hose nipple 7.
Water and dirt particles in the com-
pressed air cause rust formation and
lead to clogging of vanes, valves, etc.
To prevent this, a few drops of motor oil
should be placed in the air inlet 8. Re-
connect the tool to the air supply and
let the tool run for 5–10 s while catching the oil that
runs out with a rag. If the air tool is not used for a
longer time, this procedure should always be
performed.
All Bosch air tools that do not belong to the CLEAN se-
ries (a special kind of air motor that functions with oil-
free compressed air), require a small amount of lubri-
cating oil be mixed into the flow of compressed air.
The compressed air oiler required for this is located at
the compressed air maintenance unit connected to
the tool (you may obtain further details on this from a
compressor manufacturer).
Occasionally lubricate the roller guide 12 with a drop
of oil and inspect it for any wear. If the roller guide 12
is worn, it should be replaced by an authorized Bosch
service center for air tools and electric power tools.
You should use SAE 10 or SAE 20 motor oil for direct
lubrication of the tool or for admixture at the mainte-
nance unit (compressor).
