Wash the filter in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out
thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried filter may
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the
motor.
Do not blow dust sticking on the cleaner by air duster. It
brings dust into the housing and causes failure.
Fixing method
Empty dust from capsule.
Dust down or wash filter.
Recharge battery.
Recharge battery.
NOTE:
• Some items in the list may be included in the
tool package as standard accessories. They
may differ from country to country.
Cyclone attachment

3. Suction inlet
About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the capsule,
which helps to prevent the suction force from weaken-
ing. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool. If the
battery cartridge is left inserted, the cleaner may start
unexpectedly and result in injury.
CAUTION:
Clean the mesh filter of the
cyclone attachment and the filters of the cleaner
unit when they become clogged. Continued use in
the clogged condition may result in heating or smoke.
