The following maintenance intervals apply for normal operat‐
ing conditions only. When working under difficult conditions
(high accumulation of dust, highly resinous lumber, lumber
from tropical trees, etc.) or longer than normal each day, the
specified intervals must be shortened accordingly. If you only
use the tool occasionally, extend the intervals accordingly.
