About the cyclone attachment

Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed reduces the amount of dust that enters the dust bag, which helps to prevent the suction force from weakening. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.

⚠️CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool. If the battery cartridge is left inserted, the cleaner may start unexpectedly and result in injury.

⚠️CAUTION: Clean the mesh filter of the cyclone attachment and the dust bag of the cleaner unit when they become clogged. Continued use in the clogged condition may result in heating or smoke.

NOTICE: When the cyclone attachment is attached, do not use the cleaner in the horizontal or upward facing condition. Doing so may cause the mesh filter to become clogged.

NOTICE: Always use the cleaner with the dust bag installed, even when using the cyclone attachment. Using the cleaner without the dust bag installed may result in a motor malfunction.

NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner, and extension wand (straight pipe) are locked properly before use.

NOTE: Empty the dust case of the cyclone attachment and the dust bag of the cleaner when dust has accumulated. Continued use will result in weakened suction force.

NOTE: You can also use the cyclone attachment without lock function.

NOTE: To install or remove the cyclone attachment, refer to the section "Installing and removing cleaner attachments".

Disposing of dust

When dust has accumulated up to the full line of the dust case, follow the procedure below and dispose of the dust.

1. Hold the dust case firmly, press and hold the two buttons, and remove the dust case.

⚠️ CAUTION: When reassembling the dust case, be careful not to pinch your fingers.

NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner, and extension wand (straight pipe) are locked properly before restarting operation.

NOTE: If the suction force does not recover even after disposing of the dust and cleaning the mesh filter, check whether dust has accumulated in the dust bag of the cleaner or clogging has occurred.

NOTE: The dust may fly up when disposing from the cyclone attachment. Be careful not to let dust get into your eyes.

Cleaning

CAUTION: After washing the cyclone attachment, dry it thoroughly before use. Insufficiently dried components may cause an electrical shock or damage to the appliance.

When the dust case becomes dirty or the mesh filter is clogged, remove and wash them with water. (Refer to "Disposing of dust" for the removal procedure.)

Dry the parts thoroughly before reinstallation and use.
