Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-5], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
► Check the condition and fault-free function
ing of the recuperating springs, which push
the entire drive mechanism bearing into the
upper protected end positions.
► 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 [1-22].
► Keep the contacts on the power tool, charg
er and battery pack clean.
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu

tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
harden when exposed to humidity. This may
impair the switching mechanism
