compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Brushes

of the machine. Remove the worn brushes and replaced with new.
Replace brush access plugs. Alternatively, have the machine serviced at
an authorised service centre

Handling
• Hold the tool securely, keeping hands well away from rotating parts. For
most purposes, it is most convenient to grip the tool like a pencil
• Practice using the tool with scrap material before starting a job. Be aware
that different accessories will require different techniques, and may
require different speed settings
• Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient
performance. If the pressure applied to the tool has a noticeable effect on
the speed of the tool then reduce the pressure. Overloading the tool will
reduce its service life
• Always ensure that material is secure. If appropriate use a vice or clamp
to hold the work
