Servicing and maintenance
Any maintenance or repair work that requires 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 leads or other components, which in turn can lead to accidents with serious consequences.
To prevent accidents, always remove 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 solvents are harmful to plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbonyl chloride, cleaning 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.

•The riving knife must be aligned with the saw blade, and should not be crooked. A faulty riving knife must be replaced immediately. Under no circumstances use the saw without the riving knife because of the increased risk of recoil.
•Even with proper usage the teeth of the saw blade become blunt in time. Change the saw blade as soon as you notice that you need a greater force to push the machine during sawing or the quality of cut has deteriorated. Take blunt saw blades back to an authorised Customer Service Centre for
