run the tool with a steady pressure, but do
not use excessive force as this will decrease

All hammers require a short period of time to
warm up. Depending on the room
temperature, this time may vary from
approximately 15 seconds (90˚F) to 2
minutes (32˚F). A new hammer requires a
break-in period before full performance is
realized. This period may require up to 5
hours of operation.
An electric hammer is likely to be the most
expensive portable tool at the construction
job. The long wear and efficient operation of
the BOSCH hammers will more than justify
the cost for tools of this type. As earlier
pointed out, sharp accessories as well as
clean air vents are necessary for efficient
operation.
Establish and follow a set

After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at
every second brush change, the bearings
should be replaced at Bosch Factory Service
Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy
load or very abrasive material cutting) should
be replaced at once to avoid overheating or
motor failure.
REPLACEMENT OF CORD AND
CARBON BRUSHES
Your tool is designed to provide a qualified
service technician optimal access to replace
the carbon brushes and the cord. This
provides the service technician the ability to
replace these components without the need
of disassembling the entire tool housing.
