Regularly clean tools.
Tool elements made from light alloy, e.g. resin, may only be
cleaned with solvents which do not damage the properties of
these materials.
2.4 Installation and securing
a) Tools and tool cores must be mounted so they cannot come
loose during operation.
b) When assembling tools, be sure to clamp onto the hub or the
clamping surface of the tool and the blades do not come into
contact with each other or with clamping elements.
c) Tighten retaining screws and nuts to the torque specified by
the manufacturer using suitable spanners, etc.

prohibited.
e) Remove any dirt, grease, oil and water from the clamping
surfaces.

equipment. Using loose rings is prohibited.
h) Reducing rings may only be used if they are manufactured in
accordance with manufacturer specifications.
