⚠️ 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 assembled securely before restarting operation.

NOTE: Empty the dust case and cleaning the mesh filter of the cyclone attachment when dust has accumulated. Continuing use will result in weakened suction force.

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