How to charge
The battery is not sufficiently charged at the time of purchase. Please charge it before use.
(Charge time is approx. 3.5 hours.)
If the battery indicator lamp does not turn on or if it immediately turns off, lift the body and set it on the
charging station again.
When using for the first time, or when not used for a long time, the operating time be shorter and the
charging time may be longer.
When charging the cleaner near a radio, the radio might be interrupted by noise or the radio program
might be difficult to hear.
When charging, place the charging station 2 m or more away from the radio and use separate sockets.
Note
Disconnect the plug from the socket when not using the cleaner for long periods of time.
If you leave the body set on the charging station with the plug inserted in a socket for long periods of time
(a month or longer), the remaining battery level might be low. Lift the body once and set it on the charging station
again before use. Also, if the remaining battery level is low, the cleaner might automatically charge periodically.
If you remove the body from the charging station while the battery indicator lamp is off (charging completed) and
then set it on the charging station again, the battery indicator lamp will turn on (charging in progress), which is
normal.
The body or charging station might become hot while charging, which is normal.
The body will not operate even if the control button is pressed while charging.
The body cannot be set on the charging station while the extension pipe is attached. Remove the extension pipe.
If you set the body on the charging station, attach the dust case to the body.
Note
Hold and pull the plug at the

Make sure to charge when you are finished cleaning, regardless of the operating time.
If you will not use the cleaner for a month or more, fully charge and store it, and charge it once a year.
(Storing it when there is no remaining battery level will cause the battery performance and life to deteriorate.)
If the battery is depleted and operation stops during cleaning, the cleaner might be operable for a short while by
pressing the control button again. However, do not repeat this procedure. The battery life will shorten.
Charge in areas where the room temperature is between 5°C and 35°C. The battery might not charge properly in
places of low temperature, or places of high temperature such as under direct sunlight. (The operating time might
be shorter, or the charge time might be longer.)

Risk of damage to the floor.
Do not leave the power head in the same position during operation.
Do not firmly press the power head against the floor.
The floor might be damaged if it is easily damaged especially such as cypress or padded flooring.
*
Padded flooring is flooring where the surface is cushioned using vinyl chloride, etc.
Firmly pressing the power head against uneven surfaces such as
thresholds might wear out the wheels and damage the floor.
If dust gets tangled in the wheels, the wheels cannot rotate, which
might cause wear and tear and floor damage. Please do periodic
maintenance (about once a month). → (P.E-30, 31)
The "brushes, wheels, rotary brush, or roller" might be worn out due to longtime usage, etc. Using the power head while they are worn out might
damage the floor. You cannot replace the "brushes and wheels"
by yourself, So please consult with the dealer where you purchased the
cleaner or the Hitachi authorized services agent. You can purchase the "rotary
brush and roller" as replacement parts. → (P.E-39)
The vacuum might be difficult to use depending on the floor type. In such case, switch to the "Standard" operation.
If the suction power becomes weak, there might be dust blocking the power head inlet. In this case,
perform maintenance (clean with water) for each filter. → (P.E-27 to E-29)

might get pinched between the slide groove.
Do not add excessive force. Doing so might result in damage.
· To change the length, press the length adjustment button.
· Do not drop from high places.
· Do not strongly press the body against the floor since the nozzle tip
might leave a mark on the floor. If the nozzle tip leaves a mark on the
floor, refrain from using the body at that location, and remove the mark
using soft cloths, etc.
The crevice brush can be washed with water. After washing, allow it to dry
naturally before use.
Using it while wet might lead the body to malfunction.
If there is dust on the tip or inside the nozzle, or within the groove of the
slide, remove the dust.
Note

WARNING
Swiftly perform cleaning with the brush on the tip.

Disposing the dust
Empty the dust case before exceeding the "Max line"
(guideline). If the "Max line" is exceeded, the dust
might be difficult to remove from the dust case.
Dust might not rotate depending on the type of dust
and how it accumulates, which is normal.
Fine dust might disperse in the air when emptying the dust case.
Empty the dust case in a well-ventilated environment such as outdoors, or wear a mask and avoid breathing in the dust.
Cyclonic cleaners have the advantage of not requiring paper bags, but to clean with high
suction power, we recommend frequent disposal of dust and filter maintenance.
