Disposing of dust
CAUTION:
Empty the dust bag or replace the
paper filter before it becomes full. If not, the suc-
tion/blowing force weakens.
CAUTION:
When closing the dust case cover,
be careful not to pinch your fingers.
NOTICE:
Never throw away the dust stopper
because it should be used whenever either the
dust bag or the paper filter is used.
NOTICE:
When the dust bag/paper filter is not
inside of the cleaner, the dust case cover does
not close completely. Do not force to close the
dust case cover. It may result in deforming or
breakage of the tool.
NOTICE:
When disposing of dust, also clean the
room for the dust bag/paper filter. The remaining
dust and dirt in the room may cause the sponge filter
to be clogged or the motor to be damaged.
