Cleaning
Regularly clean the power tool and
ventilation slots. Frequency of cleaning
is dependent on the material and duration
of use.
Regularly blow out the housing interior and
motor with dry compressed air.
Carbon brushes
The electric power tool features cut-off
carbon brushes.
When the cut-off carbon brushes reach their
wear limit, the electric power tool switches
off automatically.
NOTE!
Use only original parts supplied by the
manufacturer for replacement purposes.
If non-original parts are used, the guarantee
obligations of the manufacturer will be
deemed null and void.
When the power tool is being used, the
carbon brushes can be seen sparking
through the rear air inlet apertures. If the
carbon brushes are sparking excessively,
switch off the electric power tool imme-
diately. Take your electric power tool to
a customer service centre authorised by
