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. 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 lters
installed, even when using the cyclone attach-
ment.Usingthecleanerwithouttheltersinstalled
may result in a motor malfunction.

16 ENGLISH
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 capsule 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
attachments".
