• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
  After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out and thoroughly clean it in order to prevent mould and unpleasant odors from forming.
• You can use soap and water to clean out a heavily soiled debris bag.
• Rub a bar of dry soap across the zipper teeth if the zipper becomes difficult to pull.
• Clean the vacuum/blower tube with a brush upon evidence of dirt and grime.
• Dirt and grime can make the switch (blower/vacuum) more difficult to operate as a result of the material that swirls up off the ground. When this occurs, simply flip the switch back and forth a few times, which should bring it back to the normal feel.

8.2 Maintenance

• Should the tool experience problems beyond those mentioned above, let only an authorized professional or a customer service shop perform an inspection.
• There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
