Changing the tool
- Wearing protective gloves is recommended for installing and replacing application tools.
Original application tools from the extensive range of Bosch accessories are available from your specialist dealer.
Changing the collet (see figure A)
Remove the fastening screw (9) and remove the depth stop (2) together with the dust extraction adapter (3).
Depending on the size of the application tool used, you must change the collet nut (12) with the collet (11) before use.
If the right collet for your application is already installed, follow the work steps in the following section.
The collet (11) must sit in the output shaft with a small amount of play. The collet nut (12) must be easy to fit. If the collet nut or collet is damaged, replace it immediately.

If required, clean all the parts you want to fit with a soft brush or by blowing them clean with compressed air before assembling them.
Place the new collet nut on the output shaft (14).
Gently tighten the collet nut by turning in the direction of rotation ➋.
