Cleaning the machine regularly, espe
cially the adjusting devices and guides, is
an important safety factor.
Observe the following instructions:
Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-3], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
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 .
The pendulum guard must always be able to
move freely and close independently. Al
ways keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean. Clear from dust and chippings
by blowing out with compressed air or using
a brush.
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
