Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and components
must be repaired or replaced in a recog
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating instructions.
► Use an extractor on all openings of the pow
er 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 open
ing [13-4].
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Keep the contacts on the power tool, charg
er and battery pack clean.
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu
larly thoroughly. Clean the vents of the
power tool and on/off switch using dry, oil-
free compressed air. Otherwise, gypsum
dust deposits may build up inside the power
tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
harden when exposed to humidity. This may
impair the switching mechanism
Cleaning the machine regularly, espe
cially the adjusting devices and guides, is
an important safety factor.
