Wool Ingestion Shields (Fig. 1, 2)
The wool ingestion shields (K) are designed to reduce the amount of 
wool, dust, and debris that gets ingested by the motor during normal 
use. The goal of the ingestion shields is to improve durability as 
compared to a unit without the ingestion shields. 
Each ingestion shield can be easily removed for cleaning by removing 
the mounting screw (L), followed by sliding the shield back towards the 
trigger end of the tool and then lifting it off. 
The wool ingestion shields can be cleaned with soap and water and a 
soft bristle brush in the event they get clogged with polish and debris. 
Clean the shields as soon as you start to see buildup on the outside. 
Your tool may come with a set of wool ingestion shields. The wool 
ingestion shields are available at extra cost from your local dealer or 
authorized service center.
