Regular cleaning of the machine, above all
the adjustment devices and the guides, is an
important safety factor.
Damaged safety devices and components
must be repaired or replaced in a recognised
specialist workshop in accordance with reg-
ulations, unless otherwise indicated in the operat-
ing manual.
Observe the following instructions:
– To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the housing clean and
free of blockages.
– Use an extractor on all openings of the power
tool to remove wood chips and splinters. Sawing
chips and small parts that get caught up in the
sawing channel can be gently pulled out through
the opening [12-4].
– The machine is equipped with special self-dis-
connecting carbon brushes. If they are worn, the
power is interrupted automatically and the ma-
chine comes to a standstill.
