About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the dust bag,
which helps to prevent the suction force from weaken-
ing. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
If the
battery cartridge is left inserted, the cleaner may start
unexpectedly and result in injury.
CAUTION:
Clean the mesh filter of the
cyclone attachment and the dust bag of the
cleaner unit when they become clogged.
Continued use in the clogged condition may result in
heating or smoke.
NOTICE:
When the cyclone attachment is
attached, do not use the cyclone attachment in
the horizontal or upward facing condition.
Doing
so may cause the mesh filter to become clogged.
NOTICE:
Always use the cleaner with the dust
bag installed, even when using the cyclone
attachment.
Using the cleaner without the dust bag
installed may result in a motor malfunction.
NOTE:
Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner,
and straight pipe are locked properly before use.
NOTE:
Empty the dust case of the cyclone attach-
ment and the dust bag of the cleaner when dust has
accumulated. Continued use will result in weakened
suction force.
NOTE:
You can use the cyclone attachment with or
without lock function.
NOTE:
To install or remove the cyclone attachment,
refer to the section "Using as a cleaner".
