Maintenance and Cleaning

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move
freely and retract automatically. It is therefore important to
keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean at all
times.
Always remove dust and chips after working by blowing out
with compressed air or using a brush.
Clean the guide roller (5) regularly.
