Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when performing this procedure.

NG: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Before use, carefully inspect upper and lower guard as well as the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particles cannot lead to blockage of one of the functions.

Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing with a soft cloth.

Regularly clean the dust collection system (fi g. 20)

• Remove the screws (w w) (fig. 20).
• Remove all dust and resecure the access door (v v) using the screws (fig. 20).
