Cleaning and maintenance
Risk of injury!
Improperly handling the saw may result in injury.
− Remove the rechargeable battery from the saw before beginning work on the saw.
− Let the saw cool off completely before performing work on the saw.
− Remove the saw blade before performing work on the saw and wear pro- tective gloves to
prevent cut injuries.
− Wear protective goggles when cleaning.
− After performing any cleaning and maintenance work, mount all protec- tive devices, to the
extent present, properly and safely. Never use the saw without protective devices.
Risk of short circuit!
Water that has penetrated the housing may cause a short circuit.
− Never submerge the saw in water or other liquids.
− Make sure that no water or other liquids penetrate the housing.
Risk of damage!
Improperly cleaning may lead to damage.
− Do not use any aggressive cleaners, brushes with metal or nylon bristles or sharp or
metallic cleaning utensils such as knives, hard scrapers and the like. They could damage the
surfaces.
− Never use a solvent to clean plastic parts.
Cleaning the saw
− Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the housing.
− Use a soft brush to remove any dust that has collected from the device openings.
− Remove dust or chips by blowing them out with compressed air.
Maintaining the saw
− Keep the saw and the vents clean to ensure proper, safe work.
− Check regularly whether dust or foreign bodies have entered the saw near to the motor and
around the power switch.
− Regularly lubricate all moving parts.
− Before and after each use, check the saw and accessories (e.g. saw blades) for wear and
damage. Replace any accessory parts if necessary. Observe the techni- cal requirements in
the process.
− Regularly check all fixtures. They could come loose over time due to vibration.
If you identify any damage, you must have it repaired by a specialist workshop to prevent
risks.

contact a specialist workshop or qualified personnel. Repairs performed by the user and
opening the housing void your warranty claim.
