IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE

1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain.

A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.

1. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50^ C ( 122^ F).
2. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
3. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
4. Do not use a damaged battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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^ C - 40^ C ( 50^ F - 104^ F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six months if you do not use it for a long period of time.

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.

2. Battery cartridge

3. Button

4. Always switch off the tool before installing or removing of the battery cartridge.

5. To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
6. To install 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 indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked

completely. Install it 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 use force when installing the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Battery protection system (Lithium-ion battery with star marking)

1

1. Star marking
   012128

Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped with a protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the tool to extend battery life.

The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

. Overloaded:

The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current.

In this situation, release the trigger switch on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the trigger switch again to restart.

If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the trigger switch again.

- Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the battery.

Switch action

   009986

⚠️CAUTION:

- Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

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 filter to be clogged or the motor to be damaged.

NOTE:

· Always remove dust ahead of time, as suction power will be reduced if there is too much dust in cleaner.

• Always be sure to check that both filter and prefilter are loaded correctly prior to using cleaner. If they are not loaded correctly, dust will get into the motor housing, and cause motor failure. If the following examples occur, filter and prefilter are not loaded correctly. Reload them correctly to rectify problem.

010008

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.

⚠️ CAUTION:

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

010009

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

Do not blow dust stlicking on the cleaner by air duster. It brings dust into the housing and causes failure.

Things to Check Before Asking for Repairs

Symptom Area to be investigated Fixing method
Weak suction power	•Is filter clogged?Is battery exhausted?	• Empty dust from capsule.Is capsule full of dust?• Dust down or wash filter.Recharge battery.
Not working	• Is battery exhausted?	• Recharge battery.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,
  • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
