CLEANING THE FILTER

See Figure 12, page 14.
A filter is located at the back of the tool. It is designed to
keep dirt, shavings, and other debris from entering the tool
through the air intake. Over time the filter can become dirty
and clogged.
To clean the filter:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Lift the filter up and pull it away from the tool.
 Use a soft bristle brush to loosen and remove dirt and
debris.
 Replace the filter and lower it back into place.
NOTE: There are vents in several locations around the tool.
These vents should be cleaned periodically and each time
the filter is cleaned.
