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 thor-
oughly 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.
