ENGLISH

2.

Do not use the cleaner without the filter. 

Replace a damaged filter immediately.

3.

Do not attempt to pick up flammable materials, 

fireworks, lighted cigarettes, hot ashes, hot 

metal chips, sharp materials such as razors, 
needles, broken glass or the like.

4.

NEVER USE THE CLEANER IN THE VICINITY 
OF GASOLINE, GAS, PAINT, ADHESIVES OR 
OTHER HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES. 
The switch emits sparks when turned ON and 
OFF. And so does the motor commutator during 
operation. A dangerous explosion may result.

5.

This cleaner is not suitable for picking up 
hazardous dust.

6.

Never vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic, com-
bustible or other hazardous materials such as 
asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pes-
ticides, or other health endangering materials.

7.

Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.

8.

For Finland, this machine is not to be used 
outdoors at low temperature.

9.

Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).

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-based 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.

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

27.

Use extreme caution when cleaning on stairs.

28.

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.

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.

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

3.

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.

4.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 
grease.
