Maintenance and Cleaning
- Before carrying out any work on the compressor (e.g. maintenance, cleaning, etc.), remove the battery from the compressor. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
- To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the compressor and the ventilation slots clean.
Store the compressor in a dry, clean room and secure it so that it cannot be used by unauthorised persons.
Cleaning the Air Filter (see figure A)
A dirty or damaged air filter can reduce the performance of the compressor. Therefore, check and clean the air filter regularly:
- Unscrew the air filter (11) from the compressor housing by turning it anticlockwise.
- Unscrew the cover (12) of the air filter from the air filter by turning it anticlockwise.
- Remove the filter element (15) from the air filter.
- Carefully clean the filter element, e.g. with a soft brush.
If the filter element is damaged, it should be replaced. - Insert the filter element (15) into the air filter (11).
- Firmly screw the cover (12) onto the air filter by turning it clockwise.
- Insert the air filter (11) into the compressor housing and screw it down by turning it clockwise.
Checking the safety valve
Check the safety valve (5) on the compressor at regular intervals.
To do this, turn the safety valve (5) anticlockwise until compressed air escapes. Then turn the safety valve clockwise to close it back up.
Make sure that the safety valve is clean and free of damage.
Do not use the compressor if the check does not produce any compressed air or if damage is visible on the safety valve (5). Have the safety valve replaced by a Bosch after-sales service centre.
