IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using bat-
tery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conduc-
tive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
• Take care not to trap finger(s) between cleaner and bat-
tery as shown in diagram when loading battery. Trap-
ping finger(s) may cause injury. (Fig. 1)
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 2)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red part on
the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it
may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Battery protection system
The cleaner is equipped with the protection system,
which automatically cuts off the output power for its long
service life.
The cleaner stops during operation when the cleaner
and/or battery are placed under the following situation.
This is caused by the activation of protection system and
does not show the cleaner trouble.
• When the cleaner is overloaded:
At this time, release the switch trigger and remove
causes of overload and then pull the switch trigger
again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low:
Recharge the battery cartridge.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
To start the cleaner, simply press the “HIGH/LOW” but-
ton. To switch off, press the “OFF” button. To change the
cleaner speed, press the “HIGH/LOW” button. The first
press on this button is for high speed and the second
press for low speed and then each press on this button
repeats the high/low speed cycle alternatively.
Battery power lamp (Fig. 4)
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the bat-
tery power lamp blinks.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets much lower,
the tool stops during operation and the battery power
lamp lights up for about ten seconds. At this time,
remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge
it.
NOTE:
• The time at which the battery power lamp start blinking
or lighting up depends on the temperature at work
place and the battery cartridge conditions.
