1. Twist off the holder cap to remove it.
   
   
2. Using a commercially available brush, clean off cuttings, lint and dust.

   Specifically clean off lint and dust around the blade. If lint and dust accumulate between the blade and holder, the blade may no longer rotate or the cutting quality may become poor.

   
    
3. Attach the holder cap to the holder.

   For details on attaching the holder cap, see “Replacing the Blade (Installing)”.
