The 5412L in Our Shop

Each day our shop repairs a variety of power tools. Some of the power tools we see have maintenance needs, such as replacing a damaged cord, cleaning out debris, lubricating moving parts, or replacing brushes. Other power tools have more complex problems including bad armatures, missing gears, broken safety mechanisms, and just about anything else you may imagine.

Bosh Laser Tracking Dual-Bevel Slide Miter Saw

Today in our repair shop we had the opportunity to perform some simple maintenance issues on a Bosch miter saw. This power tool also arrived with some broken safety parts that required immediate replacement.

This power tool arrived with the following issues:

Repair Procedure:

1. Remove the broken Linkage
2. Remove the Lower and Upper Handles by removing the screws and the Mounting Hub (the mounting hub is a 2 part metal piece)
   
3. Remove the broken Wheel Guard
4. Attach the new Linkage
5. The Lower and Upper Handles attach together with screws
6. Make sure the wiring for the handle switch fits snug, without kinks
7. Tighten the screws
   
8. Attach the Wheel Guard using the lock nut, if it is too loose, it will rattle. If it is too tight, the Wheel Guard will not slide smoothly

So, what do you do if you are on the job and you have a spline bit that you need to use, but you are working with a SDS Max tool?

The good news is that Bosch has a great set of adapters that will convert one type of shank to the other.

1) Spline-SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Adapter

This adapter converts spline shank to SDS Plus. Here is a picture to help show how it works:

2) SDS Max-SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Adapter

Here is a picture of this one. It is just like the adapter above, except that it converts SDS Max to SDS plus.

3) SDS Max-Spline Rotary Hammer Adapter

This last one converts SDS Max to Spline shank.
All of these accessories are genuine Bosch brand accessories. They are manufactured with the quality and engineering that you would expect from Bosch.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about these adapters. Also, if you have used them before, let me know and I will post about your experience.
