IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product
using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical
attention right away. It may result in loss of
your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a
container with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water
or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 ﾟC (122 ﾟF).
7.
Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before
completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery
cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10 ﾟC - 40 ﾟC (50 ﾟF - 104 ﾟF).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
• Take care not to trap finger(s) between cleaner and
battery as shown in diagram when loading
battery.Trapping finger(s) may cause injury.
Fig.1
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.2
• Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way
until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see
the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is
not locked completely. Install it fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally
fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not use force when installing the battery
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system (Lithium-ion
battery with star marking)
Fig.3
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool
and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the trigger switch on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
trigger switch again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the trigger switch again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
Switch action
Fig.4
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Disposing of Dust
CAUTION:
• Empty the cleaner before it becomes too full, or the
suction force weakens.
• Be sure to empty out the dust inside the cleaner
itself. Failure to do so may cause the filter to be
clogged or the motor to be damaged.
Fig.5
In order to drop dust sticking on the filter in the capsule,
tap the capsule 4 or 5 times with your hand.
Fig.6
Now point suction inlet downwards, turn capsule in
direction of arrow in diagram, and disconnect capsule
slowly and straight.
NOTE:
• Dust may spill out when capsule is opened, so be
sure to set a garbage bag beneath capsule.
Fig.7
Remove accumulated dust from inside of capsule and off
of prefilter.
Fig.8
Twist prefilter in direction of arrow to unfasten securing
lip from cleaner unit and then pull off prefilter.
Fig.9
Clean out fine dust from prefilter. Next, remove filter, and
lightly tap to dislodge dust.
Reassembly
Fig.10
Put on filter until it is fully in position on the cleaner unit.
NOTE:
• Make sure filter is put on straight without being
peeled back. If filter is put on incorrectly as shown
in diagram, dust will get into motor housing, and
cause motor failure.

Fig.11
Connect prefilter. At this time, make sure to twist prefilter
so that securing lip is firmly locked into cleaner unit.
Fig.12
Fig.13
Connect capsule. Align O symbol on capsule with O
symbol on handle and then firmly twist capsule in
direction of arrow until it is secured.
Fig.14
Fig.15
NOTE:
• Always remove dust ahead of time, as suction
power will be reduced if there is too much dust in
cleaner.
• Always be sure to check that both filter and prefilter
are loaded correctly prior to using cleaner. If they
are not loaded correctly, dust will get into the motor
housing, and cause motor failure.
If the following examples occur, filter and prefilter
are not loaded correctly. Reload them correctly to
rectify problem.
Problem Examples
Example 1: Only prefilter has been loaded (no filter)
Fig.16
Example 2: Only filter has been loaded (no prefilter)
Fig.17
Example 3: Filter has been loaded in a peeled back state
Fig.18
Example 4: Prefilter's securing lip is not firmly locked into
groove of cleaner housing
Fig.19
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• To connect attachments, such as nozzle, twist-insert
attachment in direction of arrow to ensure secure
connection during use. To disconnect attachment,
twist-extract also in direction of arrow.
If attachment is twisted in the opposite direction,
when being connected or disconnected, capsule
may become loose.
Fig.20
Cleaning (Suction)
Nozzle
Attach the nozzle to clean off tables, desks, furniture, etc.
Nozzle slips on easily.
Fig.21
Nozzle + Extension wand (Straight pipe)
The extension wand fits in between the nozzle and the
cleaner itself. This arrangement is convenient for
cleaning a floor while standing erect.
Fig.22
Corner nozzle
Fit on the corner nozzle for cleaning corners and crevices
of a car or furniture.
Fig.23
Corner nozzle +Extension wand (Straight pipe)
In tight quarters where the cleaner itself cannot squeeze
in, or in high places hard to reach, use this arrangement.
Fig.24
Cleaning without nozzle
You can pick up powder and dust without nozzle.
Fig.25
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Cleaning
Fig.26
From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of
the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
Clean out also the suction opening, dust bag/dust pack
mounting area and the dust stopper.
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Fig.27
Wash the filter in soapy water when it is clogged with dust
and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out
thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried filter may
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the
motor.
Do not blow dust sticking on the cleaner by air duster. It
brings dust into the housing and causes failure.
