Cleaning the cleaner body
From time to time wipe off the outside
(cleaner body) of the cleaner using a cloth
dampened in soapy water.
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration,
deformation or cracks may result.
Dry it out thoroughly before use. An
insufficiently dried filter may cause poor
suction and shorten the service life of the
motor.
Do not blow dust sticking on the cleaner by
air duster. It brings dust into the housing and
causes failure.
STORAGE

into the holder securely.
