You should put some dabs of grease on the shank where it goes into the collet/bit holder, and of course should wipe the shanks clean when the bits are removed. There's nothing else that I've ever done, and it works great. If it gets really dirty near the ventilation slots, blow it or vacuum it clean. That's mostly what the manual says (you can download the manual for free at the Bosch website). Eventually the motor will need to have the brushes replaced, but that's true of any electric motor -- and I've never had to do that for any tool (since I don't use it many hours a day, five days a week). Very, very well made and trouble free tool.

Be aware that if the "brush light" comes on, you may only have a day or so left before you have to replace the brushes.You need to use the grease specified for the tools you use.There is a kit and a separate re-build manual for the tool. Rebuilding isn't too bad, but then I rebuilt lawn mowers when i was 10 years old and carburetors with 120 parts. Mine was pretty beat up when I got it.

Yes because the MAKITA HR2811 FX requires SDS-PLUS bits, the BOSCH HCK001 kit fits into SDS PLUS rotary hammer drills. There are 3 types of hammer drill bits, 1-SPLINE, 2- SDS-PLUS, and 3-SDS-MAX. Hope this helps have a great weekend!

I also have the Bosch TI18 18-Piece bit set and seem to go to it more often than the Dewalt bits. I also always back up the exit hole with some scrap wood or tape, which helps to reduce the tear-out.

The Bosch is a fine sander but not made for this kind of job. You need to rent a industrial heavy belt sander. You could use the Bosch if you have a couple of years to do the job!

Well, replace it with the same thing. They're not cheap. Go to this Amazon page and scroll down to the last row of images: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=DeWalt+18v+XR%2B+NiCd+9096. You can buy them used but you already have a used one. You need one that will hold a charge. If you can wait until close to Christmas, you might find that you can buy a brand new drill with a new battery for not much more money.

Hammer and screwdriver (preferably a cordless or you will have "screwdriver hand" for days)

I had a repair while under warranty. It is covered for one year from production. All shipping and repairs were covered. An extended warranty might be available, not sure. Bosch was very nice to work with.

Yes it is for 556 and no you do not need to use the hammer. It is optional.

Be smart and mail it to Milwaukee. These have a five year warranty on them. I have 3 of these, 2 of the matching drills and one of the 90 degree drills in my shop. Love these things. find your paper work, and/ box if possible and ship it off. Milwaukee will replace it free of charge in about 2 weeks or less. j at grace aviation

I would suggest replacing the complete tool. No, I don't think they are repaacable in part.

Hammer and Phillips and a drill if have one. If you use one be careful because it's cheap partical board.

Yes - if the rotary hammer is SDS or SDS plus. SDS & SDS plus are compatible.

OK....the only way your going to get a box and instructions is to go to LOWES where they sell the complete set; or forget about the box and go on line and type in "Bosch tools customer service" find "contact us" and ask them to send you a copy of instructions. I hope this helps.

I'm using Bosch HS1922 SDS-max Hammer Steel 4-1/2-in x 17-in Clay Spade and that is working well

A vinyl fold over pouch. Which will last O.K. .. Make sure the bits are German made, and they still make them.. But China makes bits for Bosch.And they do not compare.. Amazon sells both.

The Bosch HS1425 has an SDS-Plus shank so it will not fit into the Dewalt D25651K as that model accepts Spline accessories only. We do make a Spline shank chisel HS1811 that will work with your hammer. http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-HS1811-Flat-Cold-Chisel-Bit/dp/B0009H5M7U/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1426182263&sr=1-1&keywords=bosch+hs1811 If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

You do not have to change out the hammer, it won't hurt it, but it can only help it; because its more resistant to corrosion, rust, and it's self lubricating. Its not that big of a deal, but the more nickel boron coating rubbing on nickel boron is better.
