CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustments, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. Always store your power tool in a dry place.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
If a fault cannot be rectified, return the power tool to an authorised dealer for repair.
Cleaning:
Keep the safety devices, ventilation slots and motor housing as free of dirt and dust as possible. Clean the unit
by rubbing it with a clean cloth or blow it clean using low-pressure compressed air.
We recommend that you always clean the unit immediately after using it.
Clean the unit regularly by rubbing it with a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use cleaners or solvents;
these will attack the plastic parts in the unit. You must also ensure that water cannot get into the inside of the
unit.
Carbon brushes:
If excessive sparking occurs you must have the carbon brushes checked by a qualified electrician.
Caution! Only a qualified electrician is allowed to change the brushes.

slowly.
Switch contact has failed.

(3) Motor gets hot.
