Maintenance and cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean. Should the machine fail despite the rigorous
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an authorized customer
services center for IVT power tools.
Environmental protection
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing
as waste.
Machine, accessories and packaging should be
sorted for environment-friendly recycling.
The plastic components are labelled for categorized
recycling.
