Maintenance and Cleaning
- Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery from the power tool. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
- To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Cleaning the Tape
Wipe the tape (2) regularly with a dry cloth. During maintenance or operation, no lubricants should be applied to the tape, as this can reduce the pulling force and impair the function of the power tool.
Replacing the tape (see figures I-N)
When the tape (2) get kinked or worn, it may impact cable threading performance, and you may need to replace a new tape. To do this, follow below steps:
- Pull back the tape (2) until the power tool stops automatically (see figure I).
- Press the switch (6) all the way to the left (feeding) (see figure J).
- Press the on/off switch (7) until the tape (2) is fully extended, stops automatically and the display (17) shows End and a yellow status indicator (16) (see figure K).
- Press and hold the MODE button (18) for 3 seconds until the status indicator (16) lights up green and End flashes in the display (17) (see figure L).
- Continue to press the on/off switch (7) until the connector is extended (see figure M).
- Unscrew the connector and remove the old tape (2) (see figure M).
Note: Never pull back the tape (2) when it is not connected. This can cause irreversible damage to the power tool. - Screw the new tape (2) into the connector (see figure M).
Note: The power tool is not compatible with third-party tapes. Only use original replacement tapes from Bosch. - Press the switch (6) all the way to the right (retracting) and hold down the on/off switch (7) until the new tape (2) is pulled all the way through and stops automatically (see figure N).
