5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia

Pulire regolarmente l'esterno dell'utensile con un panno morbido eamp cloth. Do not use strong detergents or solvents. Ensure air vents are clear of obstructions to prevent overheating.

5.2 Svuotamento del sacchetto raccoglipolvere

When operating in vacuum mode, regularly check and empty the dust bag. A full dust bag will reduce vacuum efficiency. The dust bag typically has a slider at the bottom for easy emptying.

5.3 Sostituzione delle spazzole di carbone

The motor's carbon brushes are consumable parts. When they wear down, the motor may lose power or stop functioning. The brushes are accessible from the outside of the tool, allowing for replacement without full disassembly. Refer to the detailed diagram in the full manual for specific instructions on locating and replacing the brushes.

5.4 Conservazione

Store the tool in a clean, dry place, out of reach of children. The unique design allows for self-standing storage.
