Battery tool use and care
1. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-po-
sition before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with
your nger on the switch or energiz-
ing appliance that have the switch on
invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from
the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger
specied by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
4. Use appliances only with speci-
cally designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and re.
5. When 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. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, ush with water. If liq-
uid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appli-
ance that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in re, explosion or risk of
injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCES
A double-insulated appliance is marked
with one or more of the following: The
words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or
"DOUBLE INSULATED" or the double insu-
lation symbol (square within a square).
In a double-insulated appliance, two sys-
tems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is pro-
vided on a double-insulated appliance, nor
should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double-insu-
lated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be
done only by qualied service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
Polarization instructions
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other)
and will require the use of a polar-
ized extension cord. The appliance
plug will t into a polarized exten-
sion cord only one way. If the plug
does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. A polar-
ized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will t into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
2. Warning – To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury due to a loose electrical
connection between the appliance’s
plug and extension cord, rmly and
fully attach the appliance plug to the
extension cord. Periodically check
the connection while operating to
ensure it is fully attached. Do not
use an extension cord that provides
a loose connection. A loose connec-
tion may result in overheating, re,
and increases the risk of a burning.
3. To reduce the risk of disconnec-
tion of the appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating,
make a knot as shown in the Figure.
12
► 1. Cord set 2. Appliance cord
4. Maintain Appliance With Care –
Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged.
Extension cord
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good con-
dition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheat-
ing. Table 1 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-
ber, the heavier the cord.

2
► 1. Holder plate 2. Polyethylene bag
Spread the polyethylene bag in the tank. Insert it
between the holder plate and the tank, and pull it to the
hose inlet.
Spread the bag around the top of the tank so that the
prelter edge can catch and hold the bag securely.
NOTE:
• A polyethylene bag available on the mar-
ket can be used. 0.04 mm or thicker one is
recommended.
• Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so do not
collect the dust more than the half of the bag
capacity.
Emptying the polyethylene bag
WARNING:
• Always make sure that the cleaner is switched
o󰀨 and unplugged before emptying the polyeth-
ylene bag. Failure to do so may cause an elec-
tric shock and serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply a great impact on the oat cage
and tank. Applying a great impact may cause
deformation and damage to the parts.
• Empty the tank at least once a day although this
depends on picked-up dust volume in the tank.
Or, the suction force will weaken and the motor
may be broken.
• Do not grab the hook when emptying the tank.
Grabbing the hook may cause the hook to
break.
Unhook and lift up the tank cover.
Shake o󰀨 the dust from the cloth lter / powder lter and
then take the polyethylene bag out of the tank.
NOTE:
•
Take the polyethylene bag carefully out of the tank so
that the polyethylene bag cannot be caught and torn
by the protrusion inside the tank when emptying it.
• Empty the polyethylene bag before it becomes
full. Too much dust in the tank may cause the
polyethylene bag to be torn.
Installing the tool box
1. Release the lock of the battery cover, and open
the battery cover.
2. Set the rails on the tool box along the grooves on
the housing.
3. Close the battery cover and apply the lock.
The tool box is convenient for carrying batteries, exten-
sion code, pipe, or cu󰀨s.

14 ENGLISH
Connecting the hose
CAUTION:
• Never force the hose for bending or stamp it.
Never move the cleaner by a hose. Forcing,
stamping and pulling the hose may cause a
breakage or deformation of the hose.
• When picking up large wastes such as planer
carvings, concrete dusts or similar other than
small wastes, use the 38 mm inner diameter
hose (optional accessory). Using the 28 mm
inner diameter hose (optional accessory) may
cause a hose stu󰀩ng and damage.
Insert the hose onto the mounting port of the tank and
turn it clockwise until it locks.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched o󰀨,
unplugged, and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
Storage of power supply cord
You can wind up the power supply cord around the tool
box.
Storage of accessories
The pipes can be placed into the pipe holder when not
using the cleaner for a short time.
The hose can be stored around the tool by connecting
each ends.

15 ENGLISH
Cleaning
CAUTION:
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Cleaning of cloth lter
Only for the cloth lter model
Clogged cloth lter causes poor suction performance.
Clean out the cloth lter from time to time.
To remove dust or particles adhering to the cloth lter,
shake the frame bottom quickly several times.
Cleaning of powder lter (HEPA) and prelter
Only for the powder lter model
Clogged powder lter, prelter and damper cause poor
suction performance.
Clean out the lters and dampers from time to time.
To remove dust or particles adhering to the lters, shake
the frame bottom quickly several times.
Occasionally wash the powder lter in water, rinse and
dry thoroughly in the shade before use. Never wash
lters in a washing machine.
NOTE:
•
Do not rub and scratch the powder lter, the prelter or the
damper with hard objects such as a brush and a paddle.
• The lters wear out in course of time. It is rec-
ommended to have some spares for them.

RÉPARATION DES APPAREILS À
DOUBLE ISOLATION
Les appareils à double isolation portent une
ou plusieurs des indications suivantes : Les
mots « ISOLATION DOUBLE » ou « ISOLÉ
EN DOUBLE », ou le symbole d’isolation
double (un carré à l’intérieur d’un carré).
Dans un appareil à double isolation, deux
dispositifs d’isolation sont fournis au lieu de
la mise à la terre. Aucun moyen de mise à
la terre n’est fourni sur un appareil à double
isolation, et aucun moyen de mise à la terre
ne doit être ajouté à l’appareil. La répara-
tion d’un appareil à double isolation néces-
site un soin extrême et une connaissance
approfondie du système, et elle ne devrait
être e󰀨ectuée que par un réparateur quali-
é. Les pièces de rechange d’un appareil à
double isolation doivent être identiques aux
pièces qu’elles remplacent.
Instructions sur la polarisation
1. Pour réduire le risque de décharge
électrique, cet appareil est doté
d’une che polarisée (une des
lames est plus large que l’autre) et
nécessite l’utilisation d’un cordon
prolongateur polarisé. La che
de l’appareil ne peut pénétrer que
dans un seul sens dans un cordon
prolongateur polarisé. Si la che ne
pénètre pas à fond dans le cordon
prolongateur, inversez-la. Si la che
ne pénètre toujours pas, procu-
rez-vous un cordon prolongateur
polarisé adéquat. Un cordon prolon-
gateur polarisé nécessite l’utilisa-
tion d’une prise de courant murale
polarisée. Cette che ne peut péné-
trer que dans un seul sens dans la
prise de courant murale polarisée.
Si la che ne pénètre pas à fond
dans la prise de courant murale,
inversez-la. Si la che ne pénètre
toujours pas, contactez un électri-
cien qualié pour faire installer une
prise de courant murale adéquate.
Ne modiez d’aucune façon la che
de l’équipement, la prise du cordon
prolongateur ou la che du cordon
prolongateur.
2. Mise en garde - Pour réduire le
risque de blessure entraînée par
une connexion électrique lâche
entre la che de l’appareil et le cor-
don prolongateur, insérez la che de
l’appareil fermement et à fond dans
le cordon prolongateur. Vériez
régulièrement la connexion pendant
l’utilisation, pour vous assurer que
la che est insérée à fond. N’utilisez
pas un cordon prolongateur dont la
connexion est lâche. Une connexion
lâche peut entraîner une surchau󰀨e
et un incendie, et elle augmente le
risque de brûlure.
3. Pour réduire le risque que le cordon
de l’appareil ne se déconnecte du
cordon prolongateur pendant l’utili-
sation, faites un nœud comme illus-
tré sur la Figure.
