CAUTION
Wear a dust mask.
(1) Detach the dust box (Fig. 13)
(2) Clean out the dust in the cyclone chamber (Fig. 14)
(3) Clean out the dust in the fi lter chamber (Fig. 15)
In addition, clean off all dust attached to the surface of
the fi lter.
NOTE
Do not directly touch the fi lter with a hard brush or similar
tool, or blast the backside of the fi lter with compressed
air.
Also, do not wash the fi lter with water.
Doing so may scratch the fi lter and/or shorten its life.
(4) Make sure the fi lter is positioned correctly. (Fig. 16)
(5) Attach the dust box to the dust housing. (Fig. 17)
NOTE
Make sure there is no dust attached to the latch before
fi tting the latch.
Check to confi rm that the latches on both sides are
securely engaged after attaching.
Failure to do so may result in the dust box falling off
during use.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
When performing inspections or maintenance, be sure
to turn off the tool's switch and remove the dust extractor
system from the tool body.
1. Inspecting the body of the dust extractor system
Regularly inspect the places where the various parts of
the dust extractor system fi t together to make sure there
is no rattling or loose parts.
If the dust extractor system is used while parts of it are
loose, there is a risk of injury or other accidents. If there
is anything abnormal with the dust extractor system,
consult the HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.
2. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
3. Replacing the nozzle seal and brush cap
As the nozzle seal and brush cap wear out, the dust
extracting performance declines.
If the nozzle seal or brush cap is worn out, replace it with
a new one.
(a) Replacing the nozzle seal (Fig. 18)
Remove the nozzle seal as shown in the fi gure.
Attach a new nozzle seal. Align the nozzle seal so that its
notch fi ts onto the outer shape of the nozzle.
(b) Replacing the brush cap (Fig. 19)
Use pliers or a similar tool remove the C-ring, and
replace the brush cap with a new one.
Align the groove of the new brush cap with the bump on
the nozzle and fi t them together.
Reattach the C-ring in its original position, making sure
that it is secure and won't fall off .
4. Storage
○ Store the power tool in a place in which the temperature
is less than 50°C and out of reach of children.
○ When storing the dust extractor system, press the
nozzle adjustment button to put the nozzle in the fully
extended position. If unable to store with the nozzle fully
extended, the nozzle can be shortened to about half its
size (Fig. 20).
Keeping the nozzle fully contracted inside the dust
extractor system may result in its pressing force
becoming weaker.
○ If the nozzle doesn't return to the fully extended position,
pull it outward with your hand. Repeatedly extending and
contracting it will help it recover.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
