I use the Bosch 1617 and I've had to clean out the switch three times in
the last year. It's annoying as heck. On the bright side it seems that
many 1617 users have this problem, and the fixes are described here on the
Wreck.


Do you use the switch? Mine was turned to "on" the day it was hung and
never touched again as I use an external switch. Maybe that would solve
your problem. I would also think that Bosch would have a simple fix as it
seems to be a common problem
