Wool Ingestion Shields (Fig. 1, 2)
The wool ingestion shields 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, 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.
