On the 47B2-T, how does one remove the rotating brush for cleaning?

I didn't need to. Once the front was rmoved I just rolled it around and cleaned the bristles in place. Worked very well and I did not have to replace the roller afterwrds :)

Use the back end of the included brush. Took me a good while to figure this one out!

I squeeze the two tabs and remove the blade head then brush the hair off. You can wash the blade, but recommend using a drop of machine oil on the moving parts after each use.

There's a screw in the middle of the plastic tip, so I'm guessing you can remove that and slide out the rows of the brush for cleaning. It's very easy to clean just leaving it intact, though. As for the hardness of the bristles, they are mostly rigid but have a little bend when forced.

In most cases, vacuuming with a brush would be sufficient. But you could then use a damp rag on the grille and external parts. If you're really concerned about the fan blades being dirty, you can unscrew it and disassemble it. But that's pretty extreme, and you should be comfortable with reassembly.

I suppose you could use another brush or a comb, but removing it by hand seems the easiest method to me.

Push the large button on the outer rim and slide the 'tray' out and empty it. Then, 'flip' the yellow tabs on either side of the brush section. The framework lifts up, which allows both the filter and brush to be removed. When you clean the brush, don't forget to check the 'ends' for hair/fur that has gotten wrapped around them. The 'filter' can be cleaned by 'tapping' it against a trash can. Hope this helps!

the brush is removable by removing the screws on the bottom place. but just once a week turn unit over and take a small flat tipped screw driver and remove any hair or string by prying it loose, then there is no need to remove the brush to clean it...It really does the job well.

I clean with wet paper towel. You can download the manual from internet. Search for BSG1974XL Manual.

No the brush is not rotating. You use it the same way you would a round brush. Up and out.

There's a little tab in the upper corner that you pull up on. You slide it up and down several times to clean the wire coils. As for the main blades, they can be lifted out of the unit through the top opening. I usually use a large clean paintbrush to wipe the blades, then spray them off with my air compessor. Although you can also use a can of compressed air marketed for cleaning computer keyboards.

The handle/Motor just wipe off with a little soap and water then down the Frother part. Rinse off the Frother with a quick spin under clean water.

For some years, with the HM1865 I had, I was able to carefully pry the slotted fan cover off around its edges with a dull, thin blade from a butter-type table knife.(Not a sharp knife!) It snaps back on easily. You can clean the top of the plastic blades that way, and reach most of the bottoms, carefully and without bending anything. Clean inside the filter cover as well, from the bottom, when you remove it from the unit.

Yes, you can remove the brush. You need to use something in the shape of a quarter, and loosenthe end that holds the brush. It does take a little energy to loosen though. I also use a small pair of scissors to cut through the long hairs, and then remove with my hands. I also have a little tool that can take the lint and other items out, kind of like a comb. Then you put the brush back into the holder and tighten. Remember to look in the bottom of the sweeper to be sure that nothing is lodged inside, which will prevent the machine from working, when this happens. I do not have any pets, so I hope this helps.

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.

I clean mine in a two-step process, which is manual, not automated. After removing the head, tap gently on the side of the sink. Then I take a can of compressed air (bought at Fry's) and spray both the base, and the head until the 'gaps' between the mesh are clear. It's a little work, but it seems to work better than the supplied brush.

Yes. Just pull it off. It should be removed periodically to clean between the brush head and the power unit. Replacement brush heads can be purchased.
