Maintenance and Service

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.
Clean the power tool with a vacuum cleaner, paint brush or
hand brush after use. Ensure that the guide columns are free
of wood dust. Apply a drop of lubricant to the smooth guide
column (19) (see figure I).
