Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Bosch Power Tools.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Bosch power tool won't start, check the power supply and ensure the cord is securely plugged in. For cordless tools, verify the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted; try charging the battery for at least 30 minutes.
If the tool runs but lacks power, inspect the carbon brushes (for corded tools) for wear. Replace if they are shorter than 5mm. For cordless tools, the battery may be degraded; test with a known good battery.
If the tool overheats, stop using it immediately and let it cool down for 15-20 minutes. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked with dust. Clean the tool regularly and avoid overloading it.
If the tool makes unusual noises or vibrates excessively, check for loose screws or damaged accessories. Tighten all fasteners and replace any worn or damaged bits/blades.
If the tool's switch is faulty, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact Bosch service at 1800-266-1880 or service.in@bosch-home.com for assistance.
