WARNING
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 con-
nection of the power cord or other components,
which in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
WARNING
To prevent accidents, always remove the plug
from the power supply socket before carrying out
any changes or maintenance work on the tool!
Do not use compressed air to clean the electrical
tool! Do not try to clean parts inside the tool in
this way, as you could let foreign objects in
through the openings of the tool housing.
