appliance. Carrying the appliance with your
fi nger on the switch or energizing appliance
that have the switch on invites accidents.
15. Disconnect the battery pack from the
appliance before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
16. Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fi re when used with another battery pack.
17. Use appliances only with specifi cally
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fi re.
18. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fi re.
19. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery

20. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fi re, explosion or risk of injury.
21. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance
to fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to fi re or temperature above 130°C may cause
explosion.
22. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or appliance
outside of the temperature range specifi ed
in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specifi ed range
may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fi re.
23. Have servicing performed by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the product is maintained.
24. Do not modify or attempt to repair the
appliance or the battery pack except as

Fitting the foam fi lter (Fig. 6/Item 15)
For wet-vacuuming, slip the supplied foamed
plastic fi lter (15) over the fi lter basket (Figs. 3/4).
Fitting the pleated fi lter (Fig. 7)
For dry-vacuuming, slip the pleated fi lter (Fig. 18)
onto the fi lter basket (Fig. 4/Item 4) and secure
in place by rotating clockwise until the locking
knobs connect. The pleated fi lter is suitable for
dry-vacuuming only.
Fitting the dust bag (Fig. 9/Item 14)
For vacuuming fi ne dry dust, it is recommended
that you fi t the dust bag. (Fig. 2/Item 14). Slip
the dust bag (14) over the vacuuming hole. The
