Tools required for maintenance
Be sure to wear the included protective glasses and protective gloves, or the equivalent tools.
The following items are disposable: waste cloth (paper towel), non-woven fabric, protective
gloves, and cleaning stick. Be sure to use new ones instead of reusing them.

regular cotton swab, fluff may be left on the said areas and cause a secondary malfunction.
