NOTICE:
• When the cyclone attachment is attached, do not
use the cleaner in the horizontal or upward facing
condition. Doing so may cause the mesh filter to
become clogged.
• Always use the cleaner with the dust bag installed,
even when using the cyclone attachment. Using the
cleaner without the dust bag installed may result in a
motor malfunction.
NOTE:
• Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner, and
straight pipe are locked properly before use.
• Empty the dust case of the cyclone attachment and the
dust bag of the cleaner when dust has accumulated.
Continued use will result in weakened suction force.
Disposing of dust
When dust has accumulated up to the full line of the dust
case, follow the procedure below and dispose of the dust.
1. Hold the dust case firmly, press and hold the two
buttons, and remove the dust case. (Fig. 38)
2. Dispose of the dust inside the dust case and remove
any dust and powder adhered to the surface of the
mesh filter.
3. Insert the dust case all the way until the two buttons
lock with a click. (Fig. 39)
NOTE:
• Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner, and
straight pipe are all firmly connected before restarting
operation.
• If the suction force does not recover even after
disposing of the dust and cleaning the mesh filter,
check whether dust has accumulated in the dust bag of
the cleaner or clogging has occurred.
Cleaning
When the dust case becomes dirty or the mesh filter is
clogged, remove and wash them with water. (Refer to
"Disposing of dust" for the removal procedure.)
Dry the parts thoroughly before reinstallation and use.
(Fig. 40)
When the mesh filter gets dirty badly, clean it in the
following procedures.
1. Turn the mesh filter counterclockwise and remove it
while the hooks are unlocked. (Fig. 41)
2. Remove the dust on the mesh filter and then wash it
with water. After that, dry it thoroughly.
3. Insert the mesh filter into the base while the hooks are
aligned with the port. Turn the mesh filter clockwise
until the hooks are locked with a click. Make sure that
the mesh filter is installed securely. (Fig. 42)
