the cooling air openings in the motor housing
clean and free of blockages.
Keep the contacts on the power tool, charger

When machining materials that contain gyp
sum, dust deposits may build up inside the
power tool and on the on/off switch and harden
when exposed to humidity. This may impair the
switching mechanism. After each machining
process, blow out the inside of the power tool
through the vents and the on/off switch using
dry, oil-free compressed air.
