About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the capsule,
which helps to prevent the suction force from weakening.
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.
• Clean the mesh filter of the cyclone attachment and
the filters 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 filters installed,
even when using the cyclone attachment. Using the
cleaner without the filters 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
capsule of the cleaner when dust has accumulated.
Continued use will result in weakened suction force.
Disposing of dust
When dust has accumulated up to the full line of the dust
case, follow the procedure below and dispose of the
dust.
1.
Hold the dust case firmly, press and hold the two
buttons, and remove the dust case. (Fig. 30)
2.
Dispose of the dust inside the dust case and remove
any dust and powder adhered to the surface of the
mesh filter.
3.
Insert the dust case all the way until the two buttons
lock with a click. (Fig. 31)
NOTE:
• Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner, and
straight pipe are all firmly connected before restarting
operation.
• If the suction force does not recover even after dispos-
ing of the dust and cleaning the mesh filter, check
whether dust has accumulated in the capsule of the
cleaner or clogging has occurred.
Cleaning
When the dust case becomes dirty or the mesh filter is
clogged, remove and wash them with water. (Refer to
"Disposing of dust" for the removal procedure.)
Dry the parts thoroughly before reinstallation and use.
(Fig. 32)
When the mesh filter gets dirty badly, clean it in the fol-
lowing procedures.
1.
Turn the mesh filter counterclockwise and remove it
while the hooks are unlocked. (Fig. 33)
2.
Remove the dust on the mesh filter and then wash it
with water. After that, dry it thoroughly.
3.
Insert the mesh filter into the base while the hooks
are aligned with the port. Turn the mesh filter clock-
wise until the hooks are locked with a click. Make
sure that the mesh filter is installed securely.
