MAINTENANCE

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

After use
NOTICE: Putting the cleaner against the wall without any other support cause the cleaner to fall down and be damaged.

Cleaning
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
NOTICE: Do not blow dust sticking on the cleaner and filters by air duster. It brings dust into the housing and causes failure.
NOTICE: After washing filters, dry them thoroughly before use. Insufficiently dried filters may cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the motor.
NOTICE: After cleaning filters and sponge filter, be sure to re-install them before use. If you use the cleaner without filters and sponge filter, dust comes into the motor housing and cause malfunction.

Cleaner body
From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water. Clean out also the suction opening and filter mounting area.

Filter
Wash the filter in soapy water when it is clogged with dust and the cleaner power becomes weak. Dry it out thoroughly before use.

Sponge filter
When the sponge filter becomes dirty, clean it as follows.

1. Sponge filter
2. Bottom edge of pillar

1. Remove the filter.
2. Pull out the sponge filter from between the pillars.
3. Clean the sponge filter by tapping or washing. If you wash it, dry it out thoroughly before use.
4. Insert the sponge filter from between the pillars and set it in the original position. Make sure that each bottom edge of the pillar holds down the sponge filter, and there is no gap between the sponge filter and suction opening.
