► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Keep the contacts on the power tool, charg
er and battery pack clean.
► Use an extractor on all openings of the pow
er tool to remove chips and splinters.
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu
larly thoroughly. Clean the vents of the
power tool and on/off switch using dry, oil-
free compressed air. Otherwise, gypsum
dust deposits may build up inside the power
tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
harden when exposed to humidity. This may
impair the switching mechanism.
Check all warnings on the electric power tool
for readability and completeness. Replace
missing or illegible warnings.
