Weekly Cleaning Regimen
- The Rails: Dust builds on the metal guide rails. Use a dry toothbrush to scrub the rails. Dirty rails increase electrical resistance, causing the charger to overheat.
- The Vents: On the back of the KL 1208 are three horizontal slits. Use compressed air to blow out sawdust. If sawdust bridges the high-voltage AC input, the charger will arc and die.
