FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the appliance
is switched off and the battery cartridges are
removed before adjusting or checking function on
the appliance.
Installing or removing battery
cartridge
CAUTION:
Always switch off the appliance
before installing or removing battery cartridges.
CAUTION:
Hold the cleaner and battery car-
tridges firmly when installing or removing battery
cartridges. Failure to do so may cause them to slip
off your hands, resulting in damage to the cleaner and
battery cartridges or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to pinch your fin-
gers when opening or closing the battery cover.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
The cleaner has double battery slots. With two identical
batteries in parallel, you can extend your running time
in one or more uses without having to stop to recharge
batteries. The cleaner also works with a single battery,
so you can choose with either double batteries or single
battery according to your needs.

With double batteries
Continuous drive with two batteries allows longer run-
time and more efficient cleaning. When the first battery
is becoming empty, the cleaner automatically switches
a power source, so it continues working with the second
battery.
