About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the dust bag
and paper lter, which helps to prevent the suction force
from weakening. 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 dust bag of the
cleaner unit when they become clogged.
Continuing 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 dust
bag or paper lter installed, even when using the
cyclone attachment. Using the cleaner without the
dust bag or paper lter installed may result in a motor
malfunction.
NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner,
and extension wand (straight pipe) are locked prop-
erly before use.
NOTE: Empty the dust case of the cyclone attach-
ment and the dust bag or paper lter of the cleaner
when dust has accumulated. Continuing 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 and removing cleaner
