are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using
a dry brush. Don’t permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the tool.
Clean the dust shield on the chuck at regular intervals
using a clean, dry cloth. Carefully wipe the sealing lip

Proceed as follows: Insert a screwdriver at the
edge of the dust shield and lift it out in a forwards direc-
tion. Clean the contact surface and insert a new dust
shield. Press it in firmly until it engages.
Also take care of your insert tools. Clean off dirt and dust
deposits and protect your insert tools from corrosion
by wiping them from time to time with an oil-soaked rag.
Always keep the connection end clean and lightly greased.
