Locking or unlocking the caster
► Fig.10: 1. FREE position 2. LOCK position
3. Stopper lever 4. Caster
To lock the caster with a stopper, lower the stopper
lever and the caster no longer will rotate. To release the
caster from the locked position, raise the stopper lever.
Locking the caster is convenient when storing the
cleaner, stopping the work on the way and keeping the
cleaner still.
To operate the stopper, move it by hand.
NOTICE:
• When moving the cleaner, make sure that the
caster is unlocked. Moving the cleaner with the
caster in the locked position may cause damage
to the caster.
Cap
There is a cap on the mounting port. The cap prevents
the vacuumed dust from getting out from the cleaner.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
• This unit may contain hazardous dust. When
replacing filter elements and dust bag, always
use a P2-respirator.
• Always be sure that the cleaner is switched off
and unplugged before carrying out any work on
the cleaner.
• Never switch on until all filters and dust bag are
completely installed and the volume flow control
is tested.
Installing and disposing the
filter bag
WARNING:
• Always use a P2-respirator.
• When using the filter bag, also use the air filter
together that is preinstalled on the tool. Failure
to use the air filter together may cause unusual
noise and heat, resulting in a fire.
CAUTION:
• Never pick up water or other liquids or wet dusts
when using the filter bag. Picking up such things
may cause the filter bag breakage.
► Fig.11: 1. Filter bag
1. Extend the filter bag.
► Fig.12: 1. Filter bag
2. Align the filter bag opening with the dust suction
opening of the cleaner.
3. Insert the cardboard of the filter bag onto the
tool so that it is positioned at the end beyond the
detent protrusion.
When disposing the filter bag, pull the edge on the filter
bag's mouth so that the mouth is closed by a paper.
Installing polyethylene bag
Cleaner can also be used without polyethylene bag.
However, using polyethylene bag is easier to empty the
tank without letting your hands dirty.
► Fig.13: 1. Holder plate 2. Polyethylene bag 3. Tank
Spread the polyethylene bag in the tank. Insert it
between the holder plate and the tank, and pull it to the
hose inlet.
► Fig.14: 1. Holder plate 2. Polyethylene bag
Spread the bag around the top of the tank.
Hook up the other side of the bag around the top of
the tank so that the prefilter hook can catch and hold it
securely.
NOTE:
• A polyethylene bag available on the market
can be used. The 0.04 mm or thicker one is
recommended.
• Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so do not
collect the dust more than the half of the bag
capacity.
Disposing the polyethylene bag
WARNING:
• Always make sure that the cleaner is switched
off and unplugged before emptying the polyeth-
ylene bag. Failure to do so may cause an elec-
tric shock and serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply a great impact on the air filter and
tank. Applying a great impact may cause defor-
mation and damage to air filter and tank.
• Empty the tank at least once a day although this
depends on picked-up dust volume in the tank.
Or, the suction force will weaken and the motor
may be broken.
• Do not grab the hook when emptying the tank.
Grabbing the hook may cause the hook to
break.

Unhook and lift up the tank cover.
► Fig.16
Take the polyethylene bag out of the tank.
NOTE:
• Take the polyethylene bag carefully out of the
tank so that the polyethylene bag cannot be
caught and torn by the protrusion inside the tank
when emptying it.
• Empty the polyethylene bag before it becomes
full. Too much dust in the tank may cause the
polyethylene bag to be torn.
