force, or do not trample it, or do not pull it to move the
cleaner. Moreover, do not put away the hose as it is
bent. Otherwise troubles such as its deformation may
be caused.

remove it from the tank. (Fig. 8-a)
Remove the dust fi lter and prefi lter inside the tank.
(2) Insert the supplied plastic bag between the inside of
the tank and the bag guide.
Insert the bag fi rst along the bottom of the bag guide
and then on both sides.
Do not allow the edge of the plastic bag at "A" to overlap
the upper surface of the tank.
Insert the plastic bag all the way into both sides of the
bag guide "B". (Fig. 8 -b)
(3) After spreading the plastic bag along the inside of the

secured by the packing of the prefi lter. (Fig. 8-c)
NOTE
○ The edge of the plastic bag on the air intake should not
extend out of the top of the tank. (See Fig. 8-c)
If all of the edge of the plastic bag extends out of the top
of the tank, the air intake will be blocked, obstructing
dust collection.

slack portion of the plastic bag does not block the
suction port inside the tank. (Fig. 8 -d)
