Battery protection system (Lithium-ion
battery with star marking) (Fig. 3)
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the appliance to extend battery life.
The appliance will automatically stop during operation if
the appliance and/or battery are placed under one of the
following conditions:
• Overloaded:
The appliance is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, switch off the appliance and stop
the application that caused the appliance to
become overloaded. Then restart the appliance.
If the appliance does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool
before restarting the appliance.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the
appliance will not operate. In this situation, remove
and recharge the battery.

Installing or removing attachments
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the appliance is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the appliance.
• Firmly push the nozzle or zoom pipe into the handle
while twisting to securely attach to ensure that they do
not come loose during use.
Attach the hose connector to the suction hose opening on
the appliance.
Press the release button to disconnect the hose. (Fig. 4)
Insert the zoom pipe into the end of the handle. (Fig. 5)
Loosen the zoom pipe ring and adjust the pipe length.
After adjustment, tighten the ring. (Fig. 6)
Attach the nozzle to the zoom pipe. (Fig. 7)
Attach the crevice nozzle to the handle or zoom pipe to
use to clean crevices and other narrow, hard-to-reach
areas. (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
• Do not cover the hole of the crevice nozzle. (Fig. 9) It
may cause overheat and result in damage to the
appliance.
Attaching the shoulder belt
CAUTION:
• When hanging the appliance on your shoulder, always
hold the appliance itself by hand to prevent it from
dropping. Dropping the appliance may cause injury or
property damage.
Use the shoulder belt to hang the appliance on your
shoulder for cleaning a high place. (Fig. 10)
Loop the shoulder belt around both the carrying handle
and the belt holder and then run it through the stopper as
shown in the diagram. (Fig. 11 & Fig. 12)
Pull the ends of the belt up so that they are at least 80 mm
(3") from the top of the stopper. (Fig. 13)
Attach the hose hook at around the midpoint along the
hose. Store the shoulder belt in the hose hook when not
using it. (Fig. 14 & Fig. 15)
