10. 

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.

11. 

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

12. 

Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.

13. 

Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice 

poor performance or anything abnormal 

during operation.

14. 

DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES. When not in 

use, before servicing, and when changing 

accessories.

15. 

Clean and service the cleaner immediately after 

each use to keep it in tiptop operating condition.

16. 

MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep 

the cleaner clean for better and safer per-

formance. Follow instructions for changing 

accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free 

from oil and grease.

17. 

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use 

of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is 

damaged should be carefully checked to deter-

mine that it will operate properly and perform 

its intended function. Check for alignment of 

moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-

age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-

tions 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 cen-

ter. Don’t use the cleaner if switch does not 

turn it on and off.

18. 

REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use 

only identical replacement parts.

19. 

 When not in use, always store the cleaner indoors.

20. 

Be kind to your cleaner. Rough handling can 

cause breakage of even the most sturdily built 

cleaner.

21. 

Do not attempt to clean the exterior or interior 

with benzine, thinner or cleaning chemicals. 

Cracks and discoloration may be caused.

22. 

Do not use cleaner in an enclosed space where 

flammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given 

off by oil-base paint, paint-thinner, gasoline, 

some mothproofing substances, etc., or in 

areas where flammable dust is present.

23. 

Do not operate the cleaner while under the 

influence of drugs or alcohol.

24. 

As a basic rule of safety, use safety goggles or 

safety glasses with side shields.

25. 

Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions.

26. 

This machine is not intended for use by per-

sons including children with reduced physical, 

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of expe-

rience and knowledge.

27. 

Children should be supervised to ensure that 

they do not play with the cleaner.

28. 

Never handle battery(ies) and cleaner with wet hands.

29. 

Use extreme caution when cleaning on stairs.

30. 

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 specified by 

the manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable for 

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire 

when used with another battery pack.

2. 

Use power tools only with specifically desig

-

nated battery packs.

 Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

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 fire.

4. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-

tact accidentally occurs, flush 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 modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries 

may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in 

fire, explosion or risk of injury.

6. 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 

excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire or tem

-

perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

7. 

Follow all charging instructions and do not 

charge the battery pack or tool outside the 

temperature range specified in the instruc

-

tions.

 Charging improperly or at temperatures 

outside the specified range may damage the 

battery and increase the risk of fire.

8. 

Do not use a corded power supply such as bat-

tery adapter or portable power pack with this 

tool.

 The cable of such power supply may hinder 

the operation and result in personal injury.

Service

1. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts.

 This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

2. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories.

3. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 

grease.

Important safety instructions for 

battery cartridge

1. 

Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery 

charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.

2. 

Do not disassemble or tamper with the battery 

cartridge.

 It may result in a fire, excessive heat, 

or explosion.

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 atten-

tion right away. It may result in loss of your 

eyesight.
