MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility. Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to
clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place.
Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Periodically clear dust and chips from guard and base to ensure proper performance.
