○ Do not use an air gun or similar tool to clean the fi lter,
130
fan fi lter or the appliance itself. (Fig. 13-c)
Doing so could push dirt into the appliance and cause
malfunction.
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. Inspection of terminals
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on
the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
5. Cleaning of the outside
When the tool 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.

Store the cordless cleaner in a place in which the
temperature is less than 50°C and out of reach of
children.
When storing the appliance in a vertical position, hook
the strap to a hanger.
