12. Cleaning and maintenance
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 device.
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemicals.
Improper cleaning agents can cause discolouration on 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.
a) Maintenance
• Check the device and insertion tools for signs of wear and tear before and after each use.
• Replace or regrind drill bits when they have become blunt.
• Replace screwdriver bits if they are deformed or otherwise worn out by use.
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 housing.
• Thorough cleaning keeps the product in a usable condition and prolongs its lifespan. A good craftsman is careful
with his tools!
• Remove drilling dust and other dirt using a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner. Compressed air (at a
low pressure) can also be used.
• Use a dry, clean and lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the product.
