brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior
of the tool. Clean the outside of the tool at regular intervals
using a slightly damp cloth. Do not use a spray, steam
pressure cleaning equipment or running water for cleaning.
This may negatively affect the electrical safety of the tool.
Always keep the grip surfaces of the tool free from oil
and grease. Do not use cleaning agents which contain
silicone.
