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.

tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge rmly
when installing or removing battery car-
tridge. Failure to hold the tool and the battery
cartridge rmly may cause them to slip off your
hands and result in damage to the tool and
battery cartridge and a personal injury.
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 the place. 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.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the
red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may acci-
dentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you
or someone around you.
• 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 battery protection system.
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor 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 switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is over-
heated. In this situation, let the battery cool
before pulling the switch trigger again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low
and the tool will not operate. If you pull the
switch trigger, the motor runs again but stops
soon. In this situation, remove and recharge
the battery.
Switch action
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.

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 lter to be
clogged or the motor to be damaged.

► 1. Handle 2. Capsule
Connect capsule, in accordance with alignment marks
on handle and capsule, rmly twist capsule in direction
of arrow until it is secured.
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 lter and pre-
lter are loaded correctly prior to using cleaner.
If they are not loaded correctly, dust will get into
the motor housing, and cause motor failure.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.

8ENGLISH
Cleaning
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.
Wash the lter in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out
thoroughly before use. An insufciently dried lter 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.
