How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If
you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery
and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
○
If the battery is charged while it is heated because it
has been left for a long time in a location subject to
direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights
for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (o
ff
for
0.3 seconds). In such a case,
fi
rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○
When the charge indicator lamp
fl
ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.
○
Since the built-in micro computer takes about
3 seconds to con
fi
rm that the battery being charged
with UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of
3 seconds before reinserting it to continue charging. If
the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery
may not be properly charged.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
WARNING
Before use, check the following. 1 to 2 should be
checked before insert the battery.
1. Con
fi
rm that the vacuum switch is OFF. (Fig. 3)
If, without knowing that the vacuum switch is ON, the
battery is inserted, the appliance will start suddenly,
causing unexpected accidents. The vacuum switch will
be turned on by pushing “ON” and it will be turned o
ff
by
returning it to “OFF”. Be sure to check that the vacuum
switch is OFF.
2. Order of use for batteries
When two batteries are installed, the battery with the
least remaining power is used
fi
rst until it is empty.
Once empty, use is automatically switched over to the
other battery.
Use is still possible with a single installed battery.
NOTE
When there is no more remaining power in a battery,
immediately recharge the battery for convenient use
later.
3. Check the
fi
lter
Referring to “3. Attaching
fi
lters” in “HOW TO USE” the
fi
lter should be correctly attached.
CAUTION
Water absorption amount will severely decline if the
standardly equipped cloth
fi
lter is repeatedly used to
absorb liquid.
Use the separately sold nylon
fi
lter when repeatedly
absorbing large amounts of water.
4. Inserting the battery (Fig. 4)
As you pull on the clamp lever, open the battery guard.
Next, match the battery with the unit’s groove and
fi
rmly press the battery in until you hear a click.
CAUTION
Do not touch the terminals. Doing so may result in
cutting your hand on the terminals or other unexpected
injury.
5. Removing the battery (Fig. 4)
When removing the battery from the unit, press the
latches on both sides and slide the battery upwards to
pull it out.
6. Switch operation (Fig. 5)
During operation, the suction power will change each
time the mode selection switch is pressed.
HOW TO USE
CAUTION
Do not use the head top as a footstool or do not sit on
it. Otherwise the appliance begins to move suddenly,
causing an injury.
NOTE
Handle the hose with care. Do not bend the hose by
force, or do not trample it, or do not pull it to move the
cleaner. Moreover, do not put away the hose as it is
bent. Otherwise troubles such as its deformation may
be caused.
1. Connecting the hose (Fig. 6)
Press the attached hose into the suction opening of the
tank until it clicks and connect it. When removing the
hose, pull out the hose while pushing the button of the
suction opening.
2. Attaching the plastic bag (Optional) (Can be used
without a plastic bag)
WARNING
Be sure to turn o
ff
the appliance and remove the
battery.
(1) Detach two clamps, pull up the head by the handle and
remove it from the tank. (
Fig. 7-a
)
Remove
the
fi
lter and the
fi
lter cage inside the tank.
(2) Insert the 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.
Do not allow the edge of the plastic bag at “A” to overlap
the upper surface of the tank.
Insert the plastic bag all the way into both sides of the
bag guide “B”. (
Fig. 7-b
)
(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 13 “Attaching
fi
lters”,
insert the
fi
lter and the
fi
lter cage.
At this point attach the
fi
lter so that the plastic bag is
secured by the packing of the
fi
lter. (
Fig. 7-c
)
NOTE
○
The edge of the plastic bag on the air intake should not
extend out of the top of the tank. (See
Fig. 7-c
)
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.
○
When attaching the plastic bag, make sure that the
slack portion of the plastic bag does not block the
suction port inside the tank. (
Fig. 7-d
)
3. Attaching
fi
lters
WARNING
○
Be sure to attach the
fi
lter. (cloth
fi
lter, water
fi
lter or
fi
lter for dusts) Otherwise the motor will be damaged.
○
When you collect
fi
ne dusts, such as siding powder and
stone powder, use the optional paper
fi
lter.
○
Since it is a cloth
fi
lter for dry and wet suction, do not
remove it when you suck up liquids, such as water.
○
Repeated water absorption with the cloth
fi
lter will
signi
fi
cantly decrease the amount of water absorbed.
When repeated water absorption in large volume is
necessary, use the water
fi
lter.
When using the water
fi
lter, do not attach the cloth
fi
lter.
