For softer or more ductile materials, the clearance a must be
decreased; for harder or more brittle materials, it must be in-
creased.
Loosen the fastening screw (8) for the bottom cutter. Adjust
the requested cutter clearance a with the set screw (7) for
the bottom cutter. The upper cutter (5) and the bottom cut-
ter (6) may not touch each other.
Check the clearance with a commercially available setting
gauge. Retighten the fastening screw (8) for the bottom cut-
ter with a tightening torque of 4–6 Nm.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
Changing the cutter (see figure A)
The upper cutter (5) and the bottom cutter (6) are identical,
have four cutting edges each, and can be exchanged with
each other.
Turn or replace the cutters in good time. Only sharp applica-
tion tools achieve good cutting capacity and make the power
tool last longer.
To replace the upper cutter (5) loosen the fastening
screw (4), to replace the bottom cutter (6) loosen the
fastening screw (8).
Turn the cutter by 90° or install a new cutter. When installing
the bottom cutter (6), ensure that it fits against the set
screw (7).
Note: Turn the cutter only in the direction indicated in the
figure A and only insert a new cutter in the position shown in
the figure. Cutting is not possible with an incorrectly inser-
ted cutter.
Retighten the fastening screw (4) for the upper cutter and
the fastening screw (8) for the bottom cutter with a tighten-
ing torque of 4–6 Nm. Check the cutter clearance a as de-
scribed above.
Upper cutter (5) and bottom cutter (6) may not be re-
ground.
