• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub
the product clean with a clean cloth* or blow it off
with compressed air* at low pressure. We recom-
mend that you clean the product directly after ev-
ery use.
• Do not clean the tool attachment while it is still in
operation.
• Never clean the band saw blade or the band saw
blade guide with a hand-held brush or scraper if
the band saw blade is running. Resinous band saw
blades jeopardise work safety and must be cleaned
regularly.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• We recommend that you clean the product directly
after every use.
• Clean the product at regular intervals using a damp
cloth* and a little soft soap. Do not use any clean-
ing products or solvents; they could attack the
plastic parts of the product. Make sure that no wa-
ter can penetrate the product interior.
