OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND MINIMAL DOWNTIME

Bosch Power Tools South Africa boasts three dedicated service centres in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. Bosch Service Centre (BSC) Johannesburg manager Patrice Marrier indicates that power tools require the strictest care and maintenance to detect minor problems before they escalate. “By regularly servicing tools, users are guaran- teed reliability and prolonged service life. It is also a cost-effective way to ensure less down time and higher productivity,” he explains. Marrier points out that the BSC branches all feature a team of qualified specialists who are able to repair faulty tools quickly and reliably. “All Bosch power tools come with a 12-month warrantee that excludes wear and tear compo- nents. All tools repaired in a BSC carry a three- month warranty on spares replaced, due to the fact that only original spare parts are used.” To ensure quality service after every repair, a safety check is completed at the respective BSC before the tool is returned to the owner. Contractors can expect their repaired tools to be returned in excellent condition within three to five days. While some high-end industrial tools have service indicator lights to remind the user when it needs servicing, many other tools do not. Marrier therefore advises that it is imperative for the owner to schedule in servicing regu- larly. “An example is the brushes in the motor. When they are worn to cut-out and require replacement, the tool should be serviced at the same time, if it is involved in large-scale work. If involved in smaller contracts, the tool should high-quality results within specified deadlines. Even the best quality tools still require regular servicing and maintenance, in order to address regular wear-and-tear, while eliminating the risk of costly tool failure. > there inserted ensures high wind-resistance.

Manufacturer-approved accessories are also essential, as inferior acces- sories limit the tool’s functionality. Regular cleaning and day-to-day care is also imperative – simply blowing dust out through the air vents prevents premature erosion of the components,” he concludes.
