ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery 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.
In order to drop dust sticking on the filter in the capsule,
tap the capsule 4 or 5 times with your hand. (Fig. 3)
Now point suction inlet downwards, turn capsule in direc-
tion of arrow in diagram, and disconnect capsule slowly
and straight. (Fig. 4)
NOTE:
• Dust may spill out when capsule is opened, so be sure
to set a garbage bag beneath capsule.
Remove accumulated dust from inside of capsule and off
of prefilter. (Fig. 5)
Twist prefilter in direction of arrow to unfasten securing lip
from cleaner unit and then pull off prefilter. (Fig. 6)
Clean out fine dust from prefilter. Next, remove filter, and
lightly tap to dislodge dust. (Fig. 7)
Reassembly
Put on filter until it is fully in position on the cleaner unit.
(Fig. 8)
NOTE:
• Make sure filter is put on straight without being peeled
back. If filter is put on incorrectly as shown in diagram,
dust will get into motor housing, and cause motor fail-
ure. (Fig. 9)
Connect prefilter. At this time, make sure to twist prefilter
so that securing lip is firmly locked into cleaner unit.
(Fig. 10 & 11)
Connect capsule. Align projection on capsule with
projection on handle and then firmly twist capsule in
direction of arrow until it is secured. (Fig. 12 & 13)
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.
Problem Examples
Example 1: Only prefilter has been loaded (no filter)
(Fig. 14)
Example 2: Only filter has been loaded (no prefilter)
(Fig. 15)
Example 3: Filter has been loaded in a peeled back state
(Fig. 16)
Example 4: Prefilter's securing lip is not firmly locked into
groove of cleaner housing (Fig. 17)

OPERATION
CAUTION:
• To connect attachments, such as nozzle, twist-insert
attachment in direction of arrow to ensure secure con-
nection during use. To disconnect attachment, twist-
extract also in direction of arrow.
If attachment is twisted in the opposite direction, when
being connected or disconnected, capsule may
become loose. (Fig. 18)
Cleaning (Suction)
Nozzle (Fig. 19)
Attach the nozzle to clean off tables, desks, furniture, etc.
Nozzle slips on easily.
Nozzle + Extension wand (Straight pipe) (Fig. 20)
The extension wand fits in between the nozzle and the
cleaner itself. This arrangement is convenient for
cleaning a floor while standing erect.
Corner nozzle (Fig. 21)
Fit on the corner nozzle for cleaning corners and crevices
of a car or furniture.
Corner nozzle + Extension wand (Straight pipe)
(Fig. 22)
In tight quarters where the cleaner itself cannot squeeze
in, or in high places hard to reach, use this arrangement.
Cleaning without nozzle (Fig. 23)
You can pick up powder and dust without nozzle.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
After use (Fig. 24 & 25)
When storing the cleaner, lock the nozzle head, and
hang it from a hook available in the market.
CAUTION:
• Putting the cleaner against the wall without a hook may
cause the cleaner to fall down and be damaged.
Cleaning
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/paper pack
mounting area and the dust stopper. (Fig. 26)
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
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. (Fig. 27)
