NOTE:
• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient
temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the
actual capacity.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.
Type of filter
Normal filter (Fig. 7)
High performance filter
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 filter to be clogged or
the motor to be damaged.
Disposing of dust for normal filter
In order to drop dust sticking on the filter in the capsule,
tap the capsule 4 or 5 times with your hand.
Now point suction inlet downwards, turn capsule in direc-
tion of arrow in diagram, and disconnect capsule slowly
and straight. (Fig. 9)
NOTE:
• Dust may spill out when capsule is opened, so be sure
to set a garbage bag beneath capsule.
Remove accumulated dust from inside of capsule and off
of prefilter. (Fig. 10)
Twist prefilter in direction of arrow to unfasten securing lip
from cleaner unit and then pull off prefilter. (Fig. 11)
Clean out fine dust from prefilter. Next, remove filter, and
lightly tap to dislodge dust. (Fig. 12)
Disposing of dust for high performance filter
In order to drop dust sticking on the filter in the capsule,
tap the capsule 4 or 5 times with your hand.
Now point suction inlet downwards, turn capsule in direc-
tion of arrow in diagram, and disconnect capsule slowly
and straight. (Fig. 9)
NOTE:
• Dust may spill out when capsule is opened, so be sure
to set a garbage bag beneath capsule.
Remove accumulated dust from inside of capsule and off
of high performance filter. (Fig. 13)
Twist high performance filter in direction of arrow to
unfasten securing lip from cleaner unit and then pull off
the filter. (Fig. 14)
Clean out the fine dust and lightly tap to dislodge dust
from high performance filter.
Reassembly
Reassembly for normal filter
Put on filter until it is fully in position on the cleaner unit.
(Fig. 15)
NOTE:
• Make sure filter is put on straight without being peeled
back. If filter is put on incorrectly as shown in diagram,
dust will get into motor housing, and cause motor fail-
ure. (Fig. 16)

(Fig. 8)
Connect prefilter. At this time, make sure to twist prefilter
so that securing lip is firmly locked into cleaner unit.
(Fig. 17 & 18)
Connect capsule. Align O symbol on capsule with O sym-
bol on handle and then firmly twist capsule in direction of
arrow until it is secured. (Fig. 19 & 20)
NOTE:
• Always remove dust ahead of time, as suction power
will be reduced if there is too much dust in cleaner.
• Always be sure to check that both filter and prefilter are
loaded correctly prior to using cleaner. If they are not
loaded correctly, dust will get into the motor housing,
and cause motor failure.
If the following examples occur, filter and prefilter are
not loaded correctly. Reload them correctly to rectify
problem.
Problem Examples
Example 1: Only prefilter has been loaded (no filter)
(Fig. 21)
Example 2: Only filter has been loaded (no prefilter)
(Fig. 22)
Example 3: Filter has been loaded in a peeled back state
(Fig. 16)
Example 4: Prefilter's securing lip is not firmly locked into
groove of cleaner housing (Fig. 23)
Reassembly for high performance filter
Connect high performance filter. At this time, make sure
to twist high performance filter so that securing lip is
firmly locked into cleaner unit. (Fig. 24 & 25)
Connect capsule. Align O symbol on capsule with O sym-
bol on handle and then firmly twist capsule in direction of
arrow until it is secured. (Fig. 26 & 20)
NOTE:
• Always remove dust ahead of time, as suction power
will be reduced if there is too much dust in cleaner.
• Always be sure to check that high performance filter is
loaded correctly prior to using cleaner. If they are not
loaded correctly, dust will get into the motor housing,
and cause motor failure.
If the following examples occur, high performance filter
is not loaded correctly. Reload them correctly to rectify
problem.
Problem Examples
Securing lip of high performance filter is not firmly locked
into groove of cleaner housing. (Fig. 27)
