Top 20 Bosch RotoZip Spiral Saw RZ10 - 2100 Questions & Answers

'Sprag' the blade to stop it from rotating. Apply some WD40 or kerosene around the area and use an impact gun or impact driver to crack the nut. Check the thread and make sure you are actually turning the right way to loosen the nut. Some are a left hand thread! Cheers Bob

Try a light penetrating oil on the threads, and allow time for it to work. Sometimes working the nut in both directions, back and forth, a little at a time fill allow the penetrant to lubricate the threads better, allowing it to be more easily removed. Best regards, --W/D--

righty tighty

Hardest part is getting the trigger mechanism back in the right position while putting the screws in place. Everything has a slot/groove it fits into before both outside covers can be put together. One side will be easier to hold the pieces while the other simply covers them. A spot of glue (elmers) may help to hold trigger in place and the wires.

Did you ever solve this problem? Mine just did the same thing right after I put a new blade on for the first time I ever used it

You may have to split the housing for this. I have seen where the pin can become bent or where the plastic housing becomes worn at the pin and allows it to move around too much. They usually also have a small spring with the pin which may have failed.

Try a little PB blaster penetrating oil and a little more muscle not to much!! Nut might be a tad bit rusted in place. Good Luck....

Hi, W/D here.
Check the brushes first. Demo's get pilfered for small items, and the brushes may have been 'misplaced'. If they're there, then trace your wiring through the switch.

depending on how old the saw is, the trigger may be shorted out. try and get into the trigger assembly to confirm.

Try the Bosch website for tools,find this by a google search.

Press in shaft lock button, use supplied open-end wrench to loosen collet--RH thread and remove bit by hand.

Your speed controller has failed. You will need to get it replaced, brushes do not give, those symptoms.

I used my Rotozip once, off and on for about one hour total time. I put it away, very glad that I had bought it. It did a great job by the way. I did not need it again for another year and a half. Recently, I had another "honey do" project to take care of, so when I took it out of it's tool bag, I was certain it would take care of my project in no time. I plugged it in, hit the switch and nothing. So, I plugged it in another outlet... nothing. Shook all the cords to check for a broken wire... nothing. No power... nothing. Talk to me, is there a circuit breaker in there somewhere or do I have to send it back to Rotozip?

start with the cord. do a continuity check on it. then check the switch. then check the brushes, are they touching the commutator and moving in the slot. let me know if this does not work.

The only tile that they are any decent at cutting would be ceramic, slate, or terracotta. Anything else is way too hard and even cutting the listed tile it's no joy to do. I would suggest using a 4 or 4 1/2" grinder with a diamond blade coupled with a wetsaw. hope this helps and good luck.

Hi again, I think you will be happy you opted for the warranty solution, I told you they stand behind their products, Thanks for sticking with it and I'm glad we could help Fixya!

This sounds like the Hand crank mechanism could be the problem. If it is going down in steps the gearing on the height adjuster could be slipping and 'jumping' teeth. When was the last time you gave the table saw really deep clean? Sometimes dirty and sawdust can get inside this machine. Sawdust can soak up oil and lightweight grease drying out areas that need the oil. Give it a really good clean and see if there is access to add a small amount of oil to the moving table lift parts.

It sounds like you are having difficulty tightening the blade on your Bosch 1587vs jigsaw. To resolve this issue, first unplug the tool and lift up on the knob and loosen the spindle lock. Then insert the blade and push up slightly while doing so and twist to align the blade with the roller. Make sure to turn past resistance until it clicks. If the issue persists, you may need to replace the "clic" assembly, part #2-602-025-901.

Hi, It sounds like you've called all 3rd party locations. Please call Bosch directly and request the part. And if they don't have it in the U.S. then you can request the phone number for their international locations. The U.S. phone number is 1-800-944-2904. Otherwise, I would search on ebay and alibaba to find the part that you've mentioned. Thank you.
