Safety instructions for cleaning

Cleaning
To ensure problem-free machine cooling, the air ducts (ventilation grilles, channels,
cooling fins, tubes) must be free of pollution.
WARNING
Risk of explosion when cleaning with compressed air
If you clean the machine with compressed air, plastic components may become
statically charged and ignite a potentially explosive atmosphere; an explosion can
occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Do not use compressed air to clean motors when installed in hazardous zones!
