CLEANING AND STORAGE

CLEANING THE UNIT

WARNING: Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. To prevent serious personal injury, take extra precautions and care when performing maintenance, cleaning or servicing the unit.

Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing or the handle. They can be damaged by certain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene. Moisture can also cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.

Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum cleaner brush to clean the air vents on the battery housing and motor housing.

Keep the air vents free of obstructions.

STORING THE UNIT

Clean the unit thoroughly before storing it. Hang the unit on the charging station. Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area, locked-up or up high, out of the reach of children.
