CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the car-
tridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
Battery protection system
The cleaner is equipped with the protection system,
which automatically cuts off the output power for its long
service life.
The cleaner stops during operation when the cleaner
and/or battery are placed under the following situation.
This is caused by the activation of protection system and
does not show the cleaner trouble.
• When the cleaner is overloaded:
At this time, release the switch trigger and remove
causes of overload and then pull the switch trigger
again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low:
Recharge the battery cartridge.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
To start the cleaner, simply press the "HIGH/LOW" but-
ton. To switch off, press the "OFF" button. To change the
cleaner speed, press the "HIGH/LOW" button. The first
press on this button is for high speed and the second
press for low speed and then each press on this button
repeats the high/low speed cycle alternatively.

Battery power lamp (Fig. 3)
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the bat-
tery power lamp blinks.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets much lower,
the tool stops during operation and the battery power
lamp lights up for about ten seconds. At this time,
remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge
it.
NOTE:
• The time at which the battery power lamp start blinking
or lighting up depends on the temperature at work
place and the battery cartridge conditions.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.
Disposing of Dust
CAUTION:
• Empty the cleaner before it becomes too full, or the
suction force weakens.
• Be sure to empty out the dust inside the cleaner itself.
Failure to do so may cause the sponge filter to be
clogged or the motor to be damaged.
• Never throw away the dust stopper because it should
be used whenever either the dust bag or the paper
pack is used.
1. Push the button to open the front cover. Opening it
until a click is heard allows a positive stop at that
position. (Fig. 6)
NOTE:
• The cleaner is constructed in such a way that the front
cover comes off when trying to force the front cover
open at the angle of more than 90°. If the front cover
comes off, insert it into the front cover joint in place.
(Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
• When closing the front cover, be careful not to pinch
your fingers.
2. Pull out both the orange-colored dust stopper and
dust bag together at the same time. (Fig. 8)
3. Remove the dust stopper and empty the cleaner.
