Emptying tank with
polyethylene bag
WARNING:
Always make sure that the cleaner
is switched off and the battery cartridges are
removed before emptying the tank. Failure to do
so may cause an electric shock and serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
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.
NOTICE:
Do not grab the locking hooks when
emptying the tank. Grabbing the locking hooks may
cause them to break.
1. Release the locking hooks and lift the head unit up
off the tank.
2. Remove the polyethylene bag out of the tank,
closing the opening of the bag by hand.

NOTE: Take the polyethylene bag out of the tank
carefully to avoid it from being scratched and torn by
the edges inside the tank.
NOTE: Empty the polyethylene bag before it
becomes full. Too much dust in the tank may cause
the polyethylene bag to be torn.
Installing hose
NOTICE:
Never force the hose for bending or
stamp it. Never move the cleaner by pulling the
hose. Forcing, stamping and pulling the hose may
cause a breakage or deformation of the hose.
NOTICE:
When picking up large wastes such as
planer carvings, concrete dusts or similar other
than small wastes, use the 38 mm inner diameter
hose (optional accessory). Using the 28 mm inner
diameter hose (optional accessory) may cause a
hose stuffing and damage.
Connection to cleaner
Insert the hose end to the dust intake (hose inlet) of the
cleaner, then turn it clockwise until it locks in place.

Connections with your work tools
(Country specific)
By connecting the vacuum cleaner to any available
work tools compatible with the cleaner, it works as a
dust extractor for your power tools.
Select one of the front cuffs or joints (optional acces-
sories) as most suitable for your tool model. Place the
cuffs or joint, as necessary, between the front end of the
cleaner hose and a dust extraction port of your tool.
