11 Care and maintenance

After use
CAUTION!
Pull the mains plug before making any adjustments,
performing maintenance work, or carrying out repairs!
Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
The scroll saw is basically maintenance free. However, to
ensure a long service life you should clean the device after
each use with a soft cloth, swab, or brush. A vacuum cleaner
is also advisable for this. Ensure all ventilation slots are free
from obstruction.
External cleaning of the housing can be carried out using a
soft, possibly moist cloth. While doing so, a mild detergent or
other suitable cleansing agent can be used.
WARNING:
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline, naphtha,
acetone, lacquer thinner, or similar highly volatile solvents to
clean the scroll saw.
These products have low flash points and could explode if
used to clean the saw.
NEVER smoke while using solvents: Smoking near solvents
could ignite an explosion or fire and cause serious injury.
ALWAYS WORK in a well ventilated area to prevent the
accumulation of dangerous fumes, continuesly supply the
work area with a constant source of fresh air:
Lack of ventilation while using solvents could cause serious
personal health risks, fire, or environmental hazards.
Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, or penetrating oils to
come in contact with the plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage or destroy plastics!
When servicing use only PROXXON replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
