Tool lubrication

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is
always
ready to use. It is recommended that tools with gears
be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every
brush change.
Periodically lubricate moving parts with a silicone, or
light oil spray. Do not use grease because it tends to
attract and hold sawdust.
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
lubrication is required.
