the cleaner clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
15. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service cen-
ter. Don’ t use the cleaner if switch does not
turn it on and off.

the manufacturer. A c h arger th at is suitable f or
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
w h en used w ith anoth er battery pac k.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. U se of any oth er battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.

11 ENGLISH
3. W hen battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. S h orting th e battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4 . Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5 . Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may ex h ibit unpred ic table beh av iour resulting in
re, explosion or risk of injury.
6 . Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature abov e 1 30 ° C may c ause ex plosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. C h arging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the
