Before using battery cartridge, read all
instructions and cautionary markings
on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and
(3) product using battery.

2. Do not disassemble battery
cartridge.

3. If operating time has become
excessively shorter, stop operating
immediately. It may result in a risk
of overheating, possible burns and
even an explosion.

4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes,
rinse them out with clear water and
seek medical attention right away. It
may result in loss of your eyesight.

5. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with

any conductive material.

(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge

in a container with other metal
objects such as nails, coins, etc.

(3) Do not expose battery cartridge

to water or rain.
A battery short can cause a large
current flow, overheating, possible
burns and even a breakdown.

6. Do not store the tool and battery

cartridge in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed
50 ﾟ C (122 ﾟ F).

7.

Do not incinerate the battery
cartridge even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in
a fire.

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.

4. Charge the battery cartridge once in
every six months if you do not use it
for a long period of time.

completely. Install it 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 use force when installing the

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

Battery protection system
(Lithium-ion battery with star
marking)

1

012128

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

• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is
too low and the tool will not operate.
In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.

Switch action

009986

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.
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.
If the following examples occur, filter
and prefilter are not loaded correctly.
Reload them correctly to rectify
problem.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched

off before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning

010008

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