Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.
   Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10^ - 40^ (50^ - 104^) . Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Take care not to trap finger(s) between cleaner and battery as shown in diagram when loading battery. Trapping finger(s) may cause injury. (Fig. 1)

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 2)

• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge 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" button. 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. 4)

• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the battery 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 starts 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 battery 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 dust pack is used.
• Push the button to open the front cover. Opening it until a click is heard allows a positive stop at that position. (Fig. 5)

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. 6)

CAUTION:

• When closing the front cover, be careful not to pinch your fingers.
• Pull out both the orange-colored dust stopper and dust bag together at the same time. (Fig. 7)
• Remove the dust stopper and empty the cleaner. (Fig. 8 & 9)

Dust bag and paper pack

Install either dust bag or paper pack before using cleaner.

Use the dust stopper when installing either dust bag or paper pack.

Dust bag is usable many times repeatedly by cleaning it out.

Paper pack is a throw-away type. Throw away the entire paper pack without emptying when it has become full.

Installing dust bag

Use the dust stopper when installing dust bag. Be careful not to take the upper side for the lower side by mistake because they are different each other. (Fig. 10)

1. Insert the protrusion of the dust bag into the groove in the dust stopper as shown in the figure. (Fig. 11)
2. There is no distinction between the upper and lower sides of the dust bag. You may insert its protrusion of any side into the lower groove of the dust stopper. (Fig. 12)
3. Overlap the frame of dust stopper with that of the dust bag. (Fig. 13)
4. Place the dust stopper and the dust bag together into the cleaner cavity in the same direction of arrow on the dust stopper. Insert them all the way into the slots in the cleaner cavity. (Fig. 14)
5. Place the entire cloth part of the dust bag inside the tool itself. (Fig. 15)
6. Close the front cover completely. (Fig. 16)

Installing the paper pack

1. Unfold the entrance of the paper pack before setting it on the dust stopper. (Fig. 17)

Use the dust stopper also when installing dust pack. Be careful not to take the upper side for the lower side by mistake because they are different each other. (Fig. 18)

1. Insert the protrusion of the dust pack into the groove in the dust stopper as shown in the figure. (Fig. 19)
2. There is no distinction between the upper and lower sides of the dust pack. You may insert its protrusion of any side into the lower groove of the dust stopper. (Fig. 20)
3. Overlap the frame of dust stopper with that of the dust pack. (Fig. 21)
4. Place the dust stopper and the dust pack together into the cleaner cavity in the same direction of arrow on the dust stopper. Insert them all the way into the slots in the cleaner cavity. (Fig. 22)
5. Place the entire container part of the dust pack inside the tool itself. (Fig. 23)
6. Close the front cover completely.

CAUTION:

• Forgetting to install the dust bag or the dust pack, failure to insert the dust stopper together with the dust bag or the dust pack all the way into the slots or using a broken or ripped bag, may allow dust to get into the motor. This may result in motor failure.
• Do not fold the cardboard at its opening when installing the paper pack.
• Never throw away the dust stopper because it need to be used repeatedly whenever either the dust bag or the dust pack is used.
• The paper pack for the cleaner is an important component for maintaining the tool performance. Using other than the genuine paper pack may cause smokes or ignition.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• To connect attachments, such as nozzle, twist-insert attachment in direction of arrow to ensure secure connection during use. To disconnect attachment, twist-extract also in direction of arrow. (Fig. 24)

Cleaning (Suction)

Nozzle (Fig. 25)

Attach the nozzle to clean off tables, desks, furniture, etc. Nozzle slips on easily.

Nozzle + Extension wand (Straight pipe) (Fig. 26)

The extension wand fits in between the nozzle and the cleaner itself. This arrangement is convenient for cleaning a floor while standing erect.

Corner nozzle (Fig. 27)

Fit on the corner nozzle for cleaning corners and crevices of a car or furniture.

Corner nozzle + Extension wand (Straight pipe) (Fig. 28)

In tight quarters where the cleaner itself cannot squeeze in, or in high places hard to reach, use this arrangement.

Cleaning without nozzle (Fig. 29)

You can pick up powder and dust without nozzle.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

After use

NOTE:

• Putting the cleaner against the wall without any other support cause the cleaner to fall down and be damaged. (Fig. 30)

Cleaning

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/dust pack mounting area and the dust stopper. (Fig. 31)

CAUTION:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with dust and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried bag may cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the motor. (Fig. 32)

NOTE:

• Dust pack is a throw-away type.

When the sponge filter is clogged with dust, remove it from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.

Removing and installing the sponge filter (Fig. 33 & 34)

To remove the sponge filter, remove the dust bag or dust pack and then pinch and take it out.

Press in the whole edge of the sponge filter against the recessed wall inside the dust bag/dust pack mounting area.

CAUTION:

• After cleaning sponge filter, be sure to install 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.
