Disconnect the device immediately from the charger when charging is complete. Leaving the charged device connected to the
charger will signi fi cantly reduce the performance of its battery.
Hold the device by the handle and make sure that the brush element does not touch any object and start it by pressing the switch.
The brush element will start to rotate (the direction of rotation is indicated by the arrow) and the indicator LEDs will light up. All
LEDs indicate that the battery has between 60% and 100% of charge. The red and orange LEDs only indicate that the battery
charge is between 20% and 60%. When only the red LED is lit, the battery charge is between 0 and 20%.
The charge levels indicated are approximate.
Hold the device in this position for approx. 30 seconds. If during that time it works properly, does not make excessive noise,
vibrate, heat or smoke, it means that it is ready to use. Check the device this way after each disassembly and reassembly of the
brush element.
Device operation
Prepare a container that is large enough to soak the brush element in it. Fill it with lukewarm water. When soaking the brush ele-
ment, its wires should be lightly immersed in water. The element must not rotate while soaking. Do not immerse the main device,
it is not protected against ingress of water and will get damaged, which can also lead to fi re and electric shock.
Allow the brush element to reach full speed and apply it to the surface to be cleaned. Do not press to hard, the rotary movement
of the brush element will gradually clean the surface. Move the brush back and forth, avoid moving it sideways. During cleaning,
the brush element should be often soaked in water for faster cleaning.
Once the cleaning is fi nished proceed with the maintenance.
Maintenance
Caution! Make sure that the device is switched o ff , that the brush element does not rotate and that the brush is not being charged
before carrying out any maintenance.
Remove the brush element and wash it under a jet of running lukewarm water or by immersing it in water. A small amount of
dishwashing liquid can be added to the water. After cleaning, allow the brush element to dry completely. The brush element is not
suitable for washing in a dishwasher or with a high-pressure water jet.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device, the guard, and the side cover. Do not immerse any of these elements in water or other
liquids and do not wash them under a stream of water or other liquids. Dry all the parts after cleaning and before assembling.
Do not use alcohol, solvents, acids or abrasive agents for cleaning and maintenance.
On fi nding that the element’s diameter has reduced or is damaged, replace it with a new one that is free from damage.
Safety instructions for battery charging
Caution! Before starting charging, make sure that the power unit body, cord and plug are not cracked or damaged. It is forbidden to
use a defective or damaged charging station and power unit! Use only the supplied charging station and power unit to charge the
batteries. The use of another power unit may result in fi re or damage to the tool. The battery should only be charged in a closed,
dry room, protected against unauthorised access, especially by children. Do not use the charging station and power unit without
the constant supervision of an adult! If you need to leave the room where the tool is being charged, disconnect the charger from
the mains by removing the power unit plug from the mains socket. If smoke, suspicious odours, etc. are escaping from the charger,
remove the charger plug from the mains socket immediately!
The compressor is supplied with an uncharged battery and should therefore be charged according to the procedure described
below with the included power unit and charging station before use. Li-ion (lithium-ion) batteries do not have the so-called “mem-
ory e ff ect”, which means they can be recharged at any time. However, it is recommended to discharge the battery during normal
operation and then charge it to full capacity. If, due to the nature of work, it is not possible to use the battery in such a manner
every time, it should be done at least every several work cycles. Never discharge any batteries by short-circuiting the battery
plates, as this will cause irreparable damage! In addition, do not check the battery charge status, by short-circuiting the plates
and checking their sparking.
Battery storage
Ensure the proper storage conditions to extend the battery’s life. The battery can withstand approximately 500 charge-discharge
cycles. Store the battery at a temperature ranging from 0ºC to 30ºC at the relative air humidity of 50%. Charge the battery to ap-
prox. 70% of its total capacity to store it for a longer period of time. In case of prolonged storage, the battery should be periodically
charged once a year. Do not over-discharge the battery as this will shorten its life and may cause irreparable damage.
During storage, the battery will gradually discharge due to leakage. The self-discharge process depends on the storage temper-
ature – the higher the temperature is, the faster the discharge process is. If the batteries are stored incorrectly, the electrolyte
may leak. In case of leakage, secure the leak with a neutralising agent. In the case of electrolyte contact with eyes, rinse eyes
thoroughly with water, and immediately seek medical attention. It is not allowed to use the appliance with a damaged battery. If the
battery is completely worn, return it to a specialist waste disposal centre.
