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 ﾟ C - 40 ﾟ C
(50 ﾟ F - 104 ﾟ F). Let a hot battery
cartridge cool down before
charging it.

CAUTION:

• Always switch off the tool before

installing or removing of the battery
cartridge.

cartridge firmly when installing or
removing battery cartridge. Failure to

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it
from the tool while sliding the button on the
front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge align the
tongue on the battery cartridge with the
groove in the housing and slip it into the
place. 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.

CAUTION:

• Always install the battery cartridge 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 install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in
easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a battery
protection system. This system
automatically cuts off power to the motor 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 switch
trigger on the tool and stop the
application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the
battery is overheated. In this
situation, let the battery cool before
pulling the switch trigger again.

• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is
too low and the tool will not
operate. If you pull the switch
trigger, the motor runs again but
stops soon. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.

Switch action

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.

1

015496

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.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Insert (or extract ) nozzle while twisting

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched

off before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning

015517

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 sticking on the cleaner by
air duster. It brings dust into the housing
and causes failure.
