WARNING
Electrical Shock And Personal Injury Hazard
Wrapping the cord too tightly puts stress on
the cord and can cause cord damage. A
damaged cord is an electrical shock hazard
and could cause personal injury or damage.
It is recommended the optic cells be
cleaned:
• When the light stays on continuously.
• When dirt or dust adheres to the
optic cells.
• Whenever the dust bag is removed.
To clean the sensor, wipe the optic cells
with a soft, dry cloth. Never use cleaners
or liquids as they can help speed the
recoating of the optic cells and make it
necessary to clean them much sooner
than normal.
Reinstall cover. Make sure it is completely
secured in place.
