Cyclone attachment

NOTE: When using the cyclone attachment with this

appliance, the bent pipe is also required.

►Fig.40: 1. Cyclone attachment

About the cyclone attachment

Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed

reduces the amount of dust that enters the dust bag,

which helps to prevent the suction force from weaken-

ing. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is

switched o 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.

CAUTION: Clean the mesh lter of the

cyclone attachment and the dust bag 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 cyclone attachment in

the horizontal or upward facing condition. Doing

somaycausethemeshltertobecomeclogged.

NOTICE: Always use the cleaner with the dust

bag installed, even when using the cyclone

attachment. Using the cleaner without the dust bag

installed may result in a motor malfunction.

NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner,

and straight pipe are locked properly before use.

NOTE: Empty the dust case of the cyclone attach-

ment and the dust bag of the cleaner when dust has

accumulated. Continued use will result in weakened

suction force.

NOTE: You can use the cyclone attachment with or

without lock function.

NOTE: To install or remove the cyclone attachment,

refer to the section "Using as a cleaner".
