How to use

Select the appropriate tool or consumable for the specific task: use soft brushes or compressed-air substitutes to remove loose dust, and use lint-free swabs dampened with the supplied cleaning fluid for localized grime, flux or adhesive residues. Work in a well-lit area with the device powered off and batteries removed when possible. Apply minimal liquid and avoid soaking components; work from clean to dirty areas and allow surfaces to dry fully before reassembly and power-up.

Usage recommendations

Use anti-static precautions when cleaning sensitive electronics: ground yourself or use an ESD strap to reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge. Test the cleaning fluid on an inconspicuous area before wider use, and store consumables in a dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. Replace single-use swabs as needed to avoid cross-contamination.
