Cyclone attachment (Fig. 37)
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 weakening.
In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.
Area to be investigated
• Is dust bag or paper pack full of dust?
• Is dust bag clogged?
• Is paper pack clogged?
• Is the battery cartridge discharged?
• Is the battery cartridge discharged?
Wall mount for cordless cleaner
Optional accessory
NOTE:
• The screw to mount the holder is not included. Prepare
a screw which fits with the material to screw into.
Attach the wall mount for cordless cleaner to a hard
wooden wall, beam or column, where the wall mount for
cordless cleaner can be firmly secured. Always be sure
that the wall mount for cordless cleaner is securely
attached before hanging the cleaner. (Fig. 36)
CAUTION:
• Do not hang the cleaner to the wall mount violently
or hang other appliances than the cleaner.
• Empty dust bag or paper pack.
• Dust down or wash the dust bag.
• Replace paper pack.
• Charge the battery cartridge.
• Charge the battery cartridge.
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.
• 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 cleaner in the horizontal or upward facing
condition. Doing so may cause the mesh filter to
become clogged.
• 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.
• Empty the dust case of the cyclone attachment and the
dust bag of the cleaner when dust has accumulated.
