Disposing of dust
CAUTION:
Empty the cleaner before it
becomes too full, or the suction force weakens.
CAUTION:

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.

Reassembly
Reassembly for normal filter
Put on the filter fully in position on the cleaner unit.
► Fig.18: 1. Filter
NOTICE:
Make sure the filter is put on straight
without being peeled back. If the filter is put on
incorrectly as illustrated, dust will get into the motor
housing, and cause a motor failure.
► Fig.19: 1. Filter
Install the prefilter. At this time, make sure to twist the prefil-
ter so that the securing lip is firmly locked in the cleaner unit.
► Fig.20: 1. Prefilter 2. Securing lip

Install the capsule. Align the mark on the capsule with
the mark near the handle and then firmly twist the cap-
sule in direction of the arrow until it is secured.
► Fig.22: 1. Mark
► Fig.23: 1. Capsule 2. Handle 3. Mark
NOTE: Always remove dust ahead of time, as the
suction power will be reduced if there is too much
dust in the cleaner.
NOTICE:
Always be sure to check that both the
filter and prefilter are loaded correctly prior to
using the cleaner. If they are not loaded correctly,
dust will get into the motor housing, and cause a
motor failure. If the following examples occur, the filter
and prefilter are not loaded correctly. Reload them
correctly to rectify problem.
