CAUTION
Risk of damage to the fl oor
If you move the vacuum cleaner while protrusions such as the
vacuum cleaner or dust case are in contact with the fl oor surface,
the fl oor surface might be damaged.
Protrusion
Power head
Use in accordance with the fl oor type
Vacuum effi ciently and thoroughly by moving the power head back and forth across fl oor.
Please use it by attaching it to the inlet of the vacuum cleaner or the extension pipe.
Carpet
Clean by moving back and forth. Dust and debris will be collected thoroughly
when pulling back.
When cleaning a new carpet for the fi rst time, the cleaner might collect many loose threads.
Flooring/Tatami
To prevent damage to the fl oor, move along the grain of the fl ooring.
When cleaning a new tatami, its surface might become polished.
If dust and debris still remain on the fl oor after you move the vacuum cleaner toward you, lift the
power head and then move the vacuum cleaner away from you (back over the dust and debris).
WARNING
Risk of injury
Do not place the power head on parts of your body (on top of
your feet, etc.) when pulling the power head.
It might get your body parts caught in the rotary brush.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the fl oor
Do not leave the power head in the same position
while the vacuum cleaner is running.
Do not fi rmly press the power head against the fl oor.
The floor might be damaged if it is easily damaged especially
such as cypress or padded fl ooring*.
* Padded fl ooring is fl ooring where the surface is cushioned using
vinyl chloride, etc.
Firmly pressing the power head against uneven surfaces such
as thresholds might wear out the wheels and damage the fl oor.
If dust and debris gets tangled in the wheels, the wheels cannot
rotate, which might cause wear and tear and fl oor damage.
Perform periodic maintenance (about once a month).
(P.E-23, E-24)
After extended use, the brushes, wheels, and rotary brush might
wear down. Using the power head while they are worn out might
damage the floor. You cannot replace the brushes or wheels by
yourself. Please contact a Hitachi authorized service agent to have
the brushes, wheels, and rotary brush replaced as a set. The rotary
brush can be purchased as a replacement part.

Inlet
The vacuum cleaner might have diffi culty vacuuming in Turbo mode depending on the fl oor type e.g.
carpets with long fi bers. In such case, switch to "Standard" setting. In such case, switch to the "Stan-
dard" operation.
If the suction power becomes weak, there might be dust and debris blocking the power head inlet.
In this case, perform maintenance for (wash with water) each fi lter.
(P.E-21, E-22)
Do not push the power head against the fl oor with excessive force, because the power head might
leave a mark on the fl oor.
If the power head leaves a mark on the fl oor, please refrain from using the vacuum cleaner in that area,
and remove the mark by using a soft cloth.
