This indicates the machine is dirty. Clean the ventilation holes, and blow out with compressed
air or clean with a dry cloth.

do not apply excessive pressure.
Excessive sparking occurs

CLARKE dealer for parts and advice.

Check to ensure the fuse is sound and replace if necessary. If the fuse is sound or blows
repeatedly, consult your CLARKE dealer.
