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 leads or other components, which in turn can lead to accidents with serious consequences.
To prevent accidents, always re- move the plug from the power supply socket before carrying out any maintenance or repair work on the machine! Do not use compressed air to clean the electrical tool! Do not try to clean parts inside the machine in this way, as you could let foreign objects in through the openings of the machine housing.
Certain cleaning agents and sol- vents are harmful to plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbonyl chloride, clean- ing solutions containing chlorine, ammonia and household cleaners containing ammonia. To assure the circulation of air, the cool air vents in the motor housing must always be kept clear and clean.
This unit is fitted with special, automati- cally disconnecting carbon brushes. If these become worn, the current is automatically switched off and the unit shuts down. In this case, take the unit to an authorised Customer Service Centre and have the carbon brushes changed.
