With immediate effect, there are a selection of Bosch Angle Grinders that may no longer be used or provided to others. Please do not dispose these devices because we will either replace these devices by new ones or repair them.
The following devices are affected:
Devices manufactured in Russia of Series GWS 20, GWS 22, GWS 24, PWS 20, PWS 1900, PWS 2000 from the production period June through to August 2016 and the model GWS 24-230 JVX Professional with brake from the production period February through to October 2016. They can be clearly identified by way of the country of manufacture in conjunction with the device and serial numbers.
How to identify a device that might be affected:
The model, the country of manufacture, and the device and serial numbers can be read on the type plate of the devices as follows:
How to identify the manufacturing date on an originally packaged tool:
The first digit of the number outlined in red indicates the production year, the next two digits indicate the production month. A product with the numerical sequence 510 was therefore manufactured in October 2015 (“5” for the year 2015 and “10” for the month October). Accordingly, the number outlined in this case indicates the manufacturing month June 2016 (“6” for the year 2016 and “06” for the month June).
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have angle grinders in stock which the original packaging has already been disposed of.
