Tool Maintenance
The DC-40 needs periodic care and cleaning. Apply a high quality paste wax to refurbish all wood and brass surfaces. Gently scrub with "0000" steel wool, following the scratch pattern on the brass. Once the wax has set, buff by hand with a clean cotton cloth. Your tool will look brand new.
