Yes, but carefully. Forced air can drive debris deeper.
Safe cleaning steps:
- Remove the battery.
- Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth.
- For vents and crevices, use a soft brush (like a paintbrush) to dislodge dust.
- If using compressed air, use short, low-pressure bursts from a distance. Do not aim air directly into vents or the trigger mechanism.
- Clean the battery contacts on the tool and battery with a dry cotton swab. No liquids.
What not to do: Do not use water, solvents, or lubricants inside the tool. Do not submerge any part. Do not open the motor or gear housing; this voids the warranty.
Heads up: Proper storage prevents most grime. Keep it in a case or bag. Accumulated dust in the vents can lead to overheating, which triggers the electronic shutdown.
