ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the cleaner is switched off,
unplugged, and the battery cartridge is removed before
carrying out any work on the cleaner.
• Always wear dust mask during assembly or
maintenance.
Installing the powder filter (HEPA) and
prefilter (for dry dust) (Fig. 13 & 14)
Optional accessory for cloth filter model
CAUTION:
• Never pick up water or other liquids or wet dusts when
using the powder filter. Picking up such things may
cause the powder filter breakage.
To use powder filter, remove the float cage and float by
removing the bolts.
Place the prefilter in the tank.
Next, mount the damper on the powder filter and then
place them in the prefilter.
When installing powder filter and prefilter, align the
mounting position marking on each of them with that one
at the top of the tank.
Finally, mount the tank cover and lock it.
NOTE:
• Before using the powder filter, make sure that prefilter
and damper are always used together. It is not allowed
to install powder filter solely.
Installing the water filter (for cloth filter
model) (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Never pick up water or wet dust without the float and
the cloth filter or the water filter.
• For picking up wet dust, make sure that the float cage
and the float are installed on the cleaner.
• When installing the water filter on the tank, set it tight at
the opening of the tank so that the hook of the water
filter engages the tank opening firmly and there is no
space between the water filter and the tank.
NOTICE:
• It is recommended using water filter when picking up
large amount of water repeatedly. Otherwise vacuum
ability may be reduced in case of cloth filter.
To pick up water or wet dust only, the water filter is more
suitable than the cloth filter.
When installing the water filter, align its mounting position
mark with the one on the tank. (Fig. 15)
Installing the paper pack (optional
accessory)
WARNING:
• When using the paper pack, also use the cloth filter or
prefilter together that is preinstalled on the tool. Failure
to use the cloth filter/prefilter together may cause
unusual noise and heat, resulting in a fire.
CAUTION:
(For the cloth filter model)
12
• Never pick up water or other liquids or wet dusts when
using the paper pack. Picking up such things may
cause the paper pack breakage.
• Before using the paper pack, make sure that powder
filter (optional accessory), damper (optional accessory)
and prefilter are always used together.
(For the powder filter model)
• Before using the paper pack, make sure that powder
filter, damper and prefilter are always used together.
1. Remove the rubber holder. (Fig. 16)
2. Extend the paper pack.
3. Align the paper pack opening with the dust suction
opening of the cleaner.
4. Insert the cardboard of the paper pack onto the holder
so that it is positioned at the end beyond the detent
protrusion. (Fig. 17)
Installing the polyethylene bag
Cleaner can also be used without polyethylene bag.
However, using polyethylene bag is easier to empty the
tank without letting your hands dirty.
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
prefilter edge can catch and hold the bag securely.
(Fig. 18)
NOTE:
• A polyethylene bag available on the market 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 off and
unplugged before emptying the polyethylene bag.
Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and
serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply a great impact on the float 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 off the dust from the cloth filter/powder filter and
then take the polyethylene bag out of the tank. (Fig. 19)
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.
