Cleaning
CAUTION:
Clean the dust bag and filter
when they become clogged. Continuing use in the
clogged condition may result in heating or fire.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
NOTICE:
Do not blow dust sticking on the
cleaner, dust bag and filter by air duster. It brings
dust into the housing and causes failure.
NOTICE:
After washing the dust bag and sponge
filter, dry them thoroughly before use. Insufficiently
dried dust bag and filter may cause poor suction and
shorten the service life of the motor.
NOTICE:
After cleaning the dust bag and sponge
filter, be sure to re-install them before use. If you use
the cleaner without the dust bag and sponge filter, dust
comes into the motor housing and cause malfunction.
Cleaner body
From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of
the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
Clean out also the suction opening, dust bag/paper filter
mounting area and the dust stopper.
Fig.38
Dust bag
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes weak. Dry it out
thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried dust bag may
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the motor.

NOTE: Paper filter is a throw-away type.
Dust stopper
Wipe dust off from the dust stopper.
Remove dust and dirt on the sponge part by lightly
tapping it.

Removing and installing the sponge
filter
CAUTION:
After cleaning the sponge filter,
be sure to reinstall it on the cleaner. If washed in
water, dry it up before installing. An insufficiently dried
sponge filter may shorten the service life of the motor.
When the sponge filter is clogged with dust, remove it
from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.
To remove the sponge filter, remove the dust bag or
paper filter and then pinch and take the sponge filter
out.
