CAUTION: Always be sure that the appliance

is switched o and the battery cartridges are

removed before adjusting or checking function on

the appliance.

Installing or removing battery

cartridge

CAUTION: Always switch o the appliance

before installing or removing battery cartridges.

CAUTION: Hold the cleaner and battery car-

tridges rmly when installing or removing battery

cartridges. Failure to do so may cause them to slip

o your hands, resulting in damage to the cleaner and

battery cartridges or personal injury.

CAUTION: Be careful not to pinch your n-

gers when opening or closing the battery cover.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury.

The cleaner has double battery slots. With two identical

batteries in parallel, you can extend your running time

in one or more uses without having to stop to recharge

batteries. The cleaner also works with a single battery,

so you can choose with either double batteries or single

battery according to your needs.

► Fig.2: 1. Left battery slot 2. Right battery slot

With double batteries

Continuous drive with two batteries allows longer run-

time and more ecient cleaning. When the rst battery

is becoming empty, the cleaner automatically switches

a power source, so it continues working with the second

battery.

14 ENGLISH

NOTE: The left battery slot (when facing the front of

the cleaner) has priority over the right battery slot.

The right battery slot will only be identied as a power

source, either when no battery is installed in the

left battery slot or the battery in the left battery slot

becomes empty.

NOTE: You can remove the battery from the left

battery slot and recharge it after the cleaner has

switched its power source from the left battery slot to

the right without ceasing operation. To give priority

back to the left battery slot after installing a recharged

battery, restart the cleaner.

With a single battery

Only one battery is required as a power source in either

the left or right battery slot. The cleaner automatically

determines which battery slot is available according to

operating conditions.

Installation and uninstallation

To install battery cartridges, release the lock rst,

and open the battery cover. Then insert the battery

cartridges.
