10. Care and cleaning
Before cleaning or servicing the appliance, switch it off and remove the battery.
Under no circumstances should you service any of the components in the interior of the product, therefore
never open/dismantle it. Repair and maintenance work (including opening the product) must be done by a
technician or specialist repair centre.
Do not allow water or moisture to get inside the appliance.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemicals, just a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Improper
cleaning agents can cause a discolouration at the plastic surface. Never use scouring agents, alcohol,
petrol, spirits or other similar liquids to clean the product.
Wear protective gloves during maintenance and cleaning work to prevent injury from sharp edges or the
saw blade.
a) Maintenance
• Check the saw blade and jigsaw for wear and damage before and after each use.
• Replace the saw blade when it becomes worn out.
• Never use saw blades that are not suitable for the appliance.
b) Cleaning
• Always clean the product immediately after use to prevent dust and dirt from settling.
• Keep dust and dirt off the safety mechanisms, ventilation slots and the motor housing.
• Thorough cleaning keeps the product in a usable condition so that you can enjoy it for a long period of time. A good
craftsman is careful with his tools!
• Remove dust and wood shavings using a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner. Compressed air (at a low
pressure) can also be used here.
• Use a dry, clean and lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the product.
11. Disposal
Electronic appliances are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household waste. At the
end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations. Dispose of the
battery as specified in the relevant original operating instructions.
