After use
NOTE:

Cleaning
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, dust bag/paper pack
mounting area and the dust stopper. (Fig. 32)
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out
thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried bag may
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the
motor. (Fig. 33)

When the sponge filter is clogged with dust, remove it
from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.

cleaner. If washed in water, dry it up before installing.
An insufficiently dried sponge filter may shorten the
service life of the motor.
