Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of
a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure
you take regular breaks.

MAINTENANCE

The product should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product
is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
a) When servicing, use only original manufacturer's
replacement parts, accessories and attachments.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
b) Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
c) Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
d) Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when cleaning. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

system.

performed by an authorised service centre.
