Intended use
The tool is intended for collecting dry dust. The tool
is suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels,
schools, hospitals, factories, shops, ofces and rental
businesses.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN60335:
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 70 dB(A) or less
Uncertainty (K) : 2.5 dB(A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN60335:
Vibration emission (a
h,M
) : 2.5 m/s2 or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
2
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has
been measured in accordance with the standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool with
another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS
Cordless vacuum cleaner safety
warnings
WARNING: IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY
all safety warnings and all instructions BEFORE
USE. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
1. Before use, make sure that this cleaner must
be used by people who have been adequately
instructed on the use of this cleaner.
2. Do not use the cleaner without the lter.
Replace a damaged lter immediately.
3. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure
switch is OFF when installing battery (ies).
4. Do not attempt to pick up ammable materials,
re works, lighted cigarettes, hot ashes, hot
metal chips, sharp materials such as razors,
needles, broken glass or the like.
5. NEVER USE THE CLEANER IN THE VICINITY
OF GASOLINE, GAS, PAINT, ADHESIVES OR
OTHER HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES.
The switch emits sparks when turned ON and
OFF. And so does the motor commutator during
operation. A dangerous explosion may result.
6. Never vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic, com-
bustible or other hazardous materials such
as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium,
lead, pesticides, or other health endangering
materials.
7. Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.
8. Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).
9. Do not block cooling vents. These vents per-
mit cooling of the motor. Blockage should be
carefully avoided otherwise the motor will burn
out from lack of ventilation.
10. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
11. Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.
12. Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice
poor performance or anything abnormal
during operation.
13. REMOVE THE BATTERY(IES). When not in
use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories.
14. Clean and service the cleaner immediately
after each use to keep it in tiptop operating
condition.
15. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep
the cleaner clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
16. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service center. Don’t use the cleaner if switch does not
turn it on and off.
17. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
18. STORE IDLE CLEANER. When not in use, the
cleaner should be stored indoors.
4 ENGLISH

cause breakage of even the most sturdily built
cleaner.
20. Do not attempt to clean the exterior or interior
with benzine, thinner or cleaning chemicals.
Cracks and discoloration may be caused.
21. Do not use cleaner in an enclosed space where
ammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given
off by oil-base paint, paint-thinner, gasoline,
some mothproong substances, etc., or in
areas where ammable dust is present.
22. Do not operate the this or any tool while under
the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
23. As a basic rule of safety, use safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields.
24. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions.

hands.
28. Use extreme caution when cleaning on stairs.
29. Do not use the cleaner as a stool or work
bench. The machine may fall down and may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
