8. Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery
cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the
battery cartridge. Such conduct may result in a
re,excessiveheat,orexplosion.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
10.
The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to
the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
For commercial transports e.g. by third parties,
forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-

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 car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove
it from the tool or the charger.
5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).

►1. Red indicator 2. Button 3. 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. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator as
showninthegure,itisnotlockedcompletely.
CAUTION: Always install the battery cartridge
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.
CAUTION: Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem.Thissystemautomaticallycutso󰀨powertothe
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions.
Overloaded:
The tool/battery is operated in a manner that causes it
to draw an abnormally high current.
Inthissituation,turnthetoolo󰀨andstoptheapplication
that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn
the tool on to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool
on 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.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-
cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps
light up for a few seconds.

oughly before use.Insu󰀩cientlydriedltersmay
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the
motor.
NOTICE: After cleaning lters and sponge lter,
be sure to re-install them before use. If you use the
cleanerwithoutltersandspongelter,dustcomes
into the motor housing and cause malfunction.

About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the capsule,
which helps to prevent the suction force from weaken-
ing. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched o󰀨 and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool. If the
battery cartridge is left inserted, the cleaner may start
unexpectedlyandresultininjury.
CAUTION: Clean the mesh lter of the
cyclone attachment and the lters of the cleaner
unit when they become clogged. Continued use in
the clogged condition may result in heating or smoke.
NOTICE: When the cyclone attachment is
attached, do not use the cleaner in a horizontal
or upward facing position. Doing so may cause the
meshltertobecomeclogged.
NOTICE: Always use the cleaner with the lters
installed, even when using the cyclone attach-
ment.Usingthecleanerwithouttheltersinstalled
may result in a motor malfunction.
NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner,
and straight pipe are locked properly before use.
NOTE: Empty the dust case of the cyclone attach-
ment and the capsule of the cleaner when dust has
accumulated. Continued use will result in weakened
suction force.
NOTE: You can also use the cyclone attachment with-
out lock function.
NOTE: To install or remove the cyclone attachment,
refer to the section "Installing or removing the cleaner
attachment".
