2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding
does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.
4. Cleaning of the outside
When the Cordless Reciprocating Saw is stained,
wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with
soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline
or paint thinner, as they melt plastics.
5. Storage
Store the Cordless Reciprocating Saw in a place in
which the temperature is less than 40°C, and out
of reach of children.
