Only attach the manual cleaning tool to the machine when performing manual cleaning work.

The machine's internal operation may cause the flat table and manual cleaning tool to come into contact, damaging the machine and the manual cleaning tool.

MEMO

  • We recommend keeping the manual cleaning tool retaining screw in the area shown in the figure to prevent loss.
