Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be
used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Ensure that the connection cables are
disconnected from electrical power when checking for
damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with
the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use
connection cables of the same designation.
The printing of the type designation on the connection
cable is mandatory.
For single-phase AC motors, we recommend a fuse

starting current (from 3000 watts)!

13. Cleaning

Danger!
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any cleaning
work.
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub
the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure.

after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic

penetrate the device interior. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

the operating manual with the power tool.
