Cleaning
CAUTION:
Clean filters when they become
clogged. Continuing use in the clogged condition
may result in heating or fire.
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.
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.

High performance 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.
