Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.

Always stop appliance operation and charge the

battery cartridge when you notice less appliance

power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room

temperature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a

hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six

months if you do not use it for a long period of

time.

PREPARATION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the appliance is switched off and

the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or

checking function on the appliance.

Installing or removing battery cartridge

(Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

• Always switch off the appliance before installing or

removing of the battery cartridge.

• Hold the appliance and the battery cartridge firmly

when installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to

hold the appliance and the battery cartridge firmly may

cause them to slip off your hands and result in damage

to the appliance and battery cartridge and a personal

injury.

• Take care not to trap finger(s) between cleaner and

battery as shown in diagram when loading battery.

Trapping finger(s) may cause injury.

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the appliance

while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.

To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it

into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a

little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper

side of the button, it is not locked completely.

CAUTION:

• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red

indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall

out of the appliance, causing injury to you or someone

around you.

• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the

cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted

correctly.

Battery protection system (Lithium-ion

battery with star marking) (Fig. 2)

Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped

with a protection system. This system automatically cuts

off power to the appliance to extend battery life.

The appliance will automatically stop during operation if

the appliance and/or battery are placed under one of the

following conditions:

• Overloaded:

The appliance is operated in a manner that causes

it to draw an abnormally high current.

In this situation, switch off the appliance and stop

the application that caused the appliance to

become overloaded. Then restart the appliance.

If the appliance does not start, the battery is

overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool

before restarting the appliance.

• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the

appliance will not operate. In this situation, remove

and recharge the battery.

Installing or removing attachments

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the appliance is switched off and

the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out

any work on the appliance.

• Firmly push the nozzle or zoom pipe into the handle

while twisting to securely attach to ensure that they do

not come loose during use.

Attach the hose connector to the suction hose opening on

the appliance.

Press the release button to disconnect the hose. (Fig. 3)

Insert the zoom pipe into the end of the handle. (Fig. 4)

Loosen the zoom pipe ring and adjust the pipe length.

After adjustment, tighten the ring. (Fig. 5)

Attach the nozzle to the zoom pipe. (Fig. 6)

Attach the crevice nozzle to the handle or zoom pipe to

use to clean crevices and other narrow, hard-to-reach

areas. (Fig. 7)

Attaching the shoulder belt

CAUTION:

• When hanging the appliance on your shoulder, always

hold the appliance itself by hand to prevent it from

dropping. Dropping the appliance may cause injury or

property damage.

Use the shoulder belt to hang the appliance on your

shoulder for cleaning a high place. (Fig. 8)

Loop the shoulder belt around both the carrying handle

and the belt holder and then run it through the stopper as

shown in the diagram. (Fig. 9 & Fig. 10)

Pull the ends of the belt up so that they are at least 50 mm

(2") from the top of the stopper. (Fig. 11)

Attach the hose hook at around the midpoint along the

hose. Store the shoulder belt in the hose hook when not

using it. (Fig. 12 & Fig. 13)
