Maintenance and care
WARNING
Risk of electric shock! Before carrying out
any work on the power tool, always
disconnect the tool from the power supply.
Cleaning
WARNING
Risk of electric shock! If metals are ground
or cut over a prolonged period, conductive
dust may become deposited inside the
housing. Impairment of the protective
insulation!
Operate the power tool via a residual-
current-operated circuit-breaker (tripping
current 30 mA).
Regularly clean the power tool and venti-
lation slots. Frequency of cleaning is depen-
dent on the material and duration of use.
Regularly blow out the housing interior and
motor with dry compressed air.
CAUTION
Risk of injury! Wear safety glases while
using compressed air.
All plastic parts should be cleaned with soft
damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean
plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve
or otherwise damage the material.
Gear housing
The gear housing should never be loosened
or opened, except by a FLEX authorized
service center. Doing so will void the
product warranty.
