7. Dump dusts (Fig. 21)
WARNING
○ Be sure to turn off the vacuum switch and disconnect
the battery.
○ This appliance contains dust that is harmful to health.
Discharge and maintenance operations (including
disposal of the dust collection containers) must only be
carried out by qualifi ed specialists wearing appropriate
protective clothing and equipment.
○ Put on a dust mask.
○ Dispose of the vacuumed material in accordance with
legal regulations.
○ If the appliance is pushed on its side while the tank
contains liquid, the liquid will get inside the motor or
switch region, causing an electric shock or motor failure.
CAUTION
○ Do not impact the tank, the fi lter, or the head. Otherwise
they will be deformed or damaged.
○ Although it is based on the amount of suction of dusts
and liquids, dump dusts and liquids in the tank at least
once a day and keep the appliance, the fi lter, etc. clean.
Otherwise suction power fall, motor failure, bad smell
or rusting may be caused.
○ Do not hold the clamps when you dump dusts in the
tank. Otherwise the clamps may be damaged.
NOTE
○ When removing the plastic bag fi lled with dust from the
tank, make sure the bag does not become caught on
parts inside the tank.
○ Empty the plastic bag regularly so that it does not
become excessively fi lled with dust.
○ Do not tilt the tank with accessories inserted in the head
or in the tank. Otherwise any part may be damaged.
(1) Remove the clamps (2 pieces) and raise the handle of
the head.
(2) Lightly striking the inner side of the prefi lter several
times, remove dusts attached to the prefi lter.
(3) Tilt the tank and dump dusts.
(4) Attach the dust fi lter, the prefi lter, the head, and the
clamp in the initial positions.
8. Attaching the plastic bag (Can be used without a
plastic bag)
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the appliance and remove the
battery.
(1) Detach two clamps, pull up the head by the handle and
remove it from the tank. (Fig. 21)
Remove the dust fi lter and prefi lter inside the tank.
(2) Insert the supplied plastic bag between the inside of
the tank and the bag guide.
Insert the bag fi rst along the bottom of the bag guide
and then on both sides. (Fig. 26)
(3) After spreading the plastic bag along the inside of the
tank, draw the end of the plastic bag outside the tank.
Following the directions on page 14 "Filter installation/
confi rmation", insert the prefi lter and dust fi lter.
At this point attach the prefi lter so that the plastic bag is
secured by the packing of the prefi lter. (Fig. 26)
NOTE
The edge of the plastic bag on the air intake should not
extend out of the top of the tank. (See Fig. 26)
If all of the edge of the plastic bag extends out of the top
of the tank, the air intake will be blocked, obstructing
dust collection.
9. Transportation and storage
(1) How to use the handle (Fig. 22)
When carrying or moving the appliance, hold the
handle of the head part. When you do not use the
handle, put it in the head part.
(2) Fixation and release of the caster (Fig. 23)
By lowering the lever of the caster with the brake, the
rotation of the wheel is fi xed. When releasing the fi xed
wheel, raise the lever. When moving with the appliance
on a vehicle, fi x the caster to retain the appliance.
However, when you move the appliance, check that the
caster is released, or the caster will be damaged.

10. How to attach the paper fi lter (Optional) (Fig. 27)
WARNING
○ Be sure to turn off the appliance and remove the
battery.
○ When using a paper fi lter, use it in combination with the
standard dust fi lter and prefi lter.
If the paper fi lter gets torn, dust may get inside the motor,
causing abnormal noise or fi re due to overheating.
CAUTION
○ When using a paper fi lter, avoid sucking in liquids such
as water or wet dust, as this may lead to tearing of the
fi lter.
○ Do not use a fi lter damper.
Doing so can reduce the dust collection capacity.
(1) Open the paper fi lter horizontally so that the suction
hole in the paper fi lter is over the top of the tank.
(2) Before attaching the fi lter to the appliance, bend the
two folds in the cardboard approx. 90° in the direction
of the arrow.
(3) Match the suction hole in the paper fi lter with the
suction opening of the appliance. Insert the fi lter in
the direction of the arrow as shown in the illustration,
so that the cardboard of the paper fi lter goes past the
stopper on the suction opening.
