CLEANING
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the unit is off and unplugged before cleaning or performing any maintenance on it.
1.Switch off the unit and disconnect it from the power source.
2.Use a small brush or the air discharge of a vacuum cleaner brush to keep the air vents free of obstructions.
3.Do not use strong detergents on the plastic housing or components. These can be damaged by certain household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene or acetone. Moisture can also cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
Inspect all extension cords periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Inspect the connectors for damage. Replace cords if defective or damaged.
STORAGE
•Store the unit indoors, away from moisture and harmful substances such as fertilizers and solvents.
•Store the unit indoors in a locked up and dry, or high and dry place to prevent unauthorized use or damage, out of the reach of children.
