CAUTION:
Always switch off the tool before installing or
•
removing of the battery cartridge.
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
•
installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to
hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly 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 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
accidentally 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 cleaner is equipped with the protection system, which
automatically cuts off the output power for its long service life.
The cleaner stops during operation when the cleaner
and/or battery are placed under the following situation.
This is caused by the activation of protection system and
does not show the cleaner trouble.
When the cleaner is overloaded:
•
At this time, release the switch trigger and
remove causes of overload and then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
When the remaining battery capacity gets low:
•
Recharge the battery cartridge.

When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
•
battery power lamp blinks.
When the remaining battery capacity gets much
•
lower, the tool stops during operation and the
battery power lamp lights up for about ten seconds.
At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the
tool and charge it .
NOTE:
The time at which the battery power lamp start
•
blinking or lighting up depends on the temperature
at work place and the battery cartridge conditions.
ASSEMBLY
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 sponge filter
to be clogged or the motor to be damaged.
Never throw away the dust stopper because it
•
should be used whenever either the dust bag or
the dust pack is used.
