Practical advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Note: Do not position the nozzle (3) too close to the work-
piece that you are using the power tool on. The resulting
build-up of air can cause the power tool to overheat.
Setting down the power tool
Set the power tool down on the storage surfaces (1) to leave
it to cool down or to keep both hands free to work with.
