MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
After use
NOTE:
• Putting the cleaner against the wall without any other
support cause the cleaner to fall down and be dam-
aged. (Fig. 30)
Cleaning
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, dust bag/dust pack
mounting area and the dust stopper. (Fig. 31)
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out
thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried bag may
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the
motor. (Fig. 32)
