10 Service and maintenance

WARNING
Any maintenance or repair work that re­
quires opening of the motor or gear housing
should only be carried out by an authorised
Customer Service Centre (name supplied by
your dealer)!
► Maintenance or repair work carried out by
an unauthorised person can lead to the
wrong connection of the power cord or oth­
er components, which in turn can lead to
accidents with serious consequences.
WARNING
To prevent accidents, always remove the
plug from the power supply socket before
carrying out any changes or maintenance
work on the tool!
► Do not use compressed air to clean the
electrical tool! Do not try to clean parts in­
side the tool in this way, as you could let
foreign objects in through the openings of
the tool housing.

The tool is equipped with special self-discon­
necting carbon brushes. If they wear out, the
power supply is disconnected automatically and
the tool stops.
Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-5], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog­
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
► Check the condition and fault-free function­
ing of the recuperating springs, which push
the entire drive mechanism bearing into the
upper protected end positions.
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Use an extractor on all openings in order to
remove wood chips and splinters from the
power tool. Never open the protective
lid [1-18].
► 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
