Ensure the machine is powered off and disconnected from any power source before starting. This prevents accidental activation during cleaning. Place the machine on a stable, flat surface covered with a clean cloth or mat to catch debris and protect the work area.

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away loose metal shavings, dust, and fragments from the entire surface. Focus on crevices around the cutting blades, hinges, and motor housing where debris tends to accumulate.

Avoid using sharp tools that could scratch metal surfaces or damage delicate parts. Dispose of collected debris in a designated container to prevent injury from sharp fragments.

Dampen a microfiber cloth with a mild cleaning solution diluted in water. Wipe down all external surfaces to remove oil, grease, and metal residue. For stubborn spots, gently rub the cloth in circular motions without applying excessive pressure.

Carefully clean the cutting blades using a cloth wrapped around a flat tool (like a plastic spatula) to reach between sharp edges. Remove any caked-on metal particles or adhesive residues that could hinder performance.

Use a brush to clean the pivot points and moving joints, ensuring all debris is dislodged. This step prevents buildup that can cause rust or jamming during future use.

Wipe all cleaned surfaces with a cloth dampened in clean water to remove any remaining cleaning solution. Immediately dry the machine with a dry microfiber cloth, paying extra attention to crevices and recessed areas where moisture can linger.

After drying, visually inspect the entire machine to ensure no debris or moisture remains. Check under the motor housing, around switches, and along blade edges for hidden particles.

If any residue is found, repeat the cleaning process for those areas. Once fully clean and dry, the machine is ready for storage or subsequent use, maintaining optimal performance and longevity.
