Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops auto-
matically and the battery indicator lights up for about 60
seconds. The tool does not start even if you turn the tool
on. In this situation, let the battery cool before turning
the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
indicator blinks. By further use, the tool stops and the
indicator lights up for about 60 seconds. If you turn the
tool on, the motor runs again but stops soon. In this
situation, charge the battery cartridge.
NOTE: The timing, at which the lamp lights up,
depends on the temperature at work place and the
battery cartridge conditions.
Indicating the remaining battery

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.
Dust bag and paper filter
Install either dust bag or paper filter before using cleaner.
Use the dust stopper when installing either dust bag or paper filter.
Dust bag are usable many times repeatedly by cleaning it out.
Paper filter is a throw-away type. Throw away the entire
paper filter without emptying when it has become full.
NOTICE:
To prevent dust from getting into the motor:
• Make sure that the dust bag or paper filter is
installed before use.
• Insert the dust stopper together with the
dust bag or paper filter all the way into the
slots when installing them.
• Do not use a broken or ripped bag.
Otherwise the motor may be broken.
NOTICE:
Do not fold the cardboard at its open-
ing when installing the paper filter.
NOTICE:
Never throw away the dust stopper
because it needs to be used repeatedly whenever
either the dust bag or the paper filter is used.
NOTICE:
The paper filter for the cleaner is an
important component for maintaining the tool
performance. Using other than the genuine paper
filter may cause smokes or ignition.
Installing dust bag
Use the dust stopper when installing dust bag. Be
careful not to take the upper side for the lower side by
mistake because they are different each other.
