ENGLISH
While charging, the charger may get warm, this
u
is perfectly normal and safe. It is safe to leave the
appliance connected to the charger indefinitely. The
charger automatically reduces power consumption
when charging is complete.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Follow all charging instructions
and do not charge the appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the
battery and increase risk of fire.
State of charge indicator
This appliance include a state of charge indicator (3) which
consists of three green and one red LED lights that indicate
the level of charge remaining in the battery. This feature is
only activated when the vacuum is powered on.
The state of charge indicator is an indication of approximate
levels of charge remaining in the battery pack.
The LED battery indicator displays the remaining charge
and warns you when the battery is low. The final red LED will
flash continuously when there is only very little runtime
remaining.
Note:
The state of charge indicator is only an indication
of the charge left on the battery. It does not indicate tool
functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.

Return the product to the charger immediately after use
u
so that it will be ready and fully charged for the next
use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged with the
charger plug.
Cleaning and emptying the vacuum
Warning! Projectile/Respiratory Hazard: Never use the vac
without its filter.
Warning! The filter is re-usable, do not confuse it with a
disposable dust bag, and do not throw it away when the
product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the
filter every 6–9 months depending on frequency of use.
There are two methods of cleaning the canister, a quick
empty method and a thorough clean method.
To empty the dust canister (Fig. J, K)
Push down the dust canister release button (15) to
u
release and remove the dust canister (8) from the vacuum
(16) as shown in figure J.
Use your index finger and thumb to pinch the filter
u
housing tabs (17) and pull the filter housing (18) from the
dust canister as shown in Fig. K.
Place the dust canister over a trash can and empty the
u
dust canister.
Install the filter housing into the dust canister (8)
u
ensuring the dust canister slots align with the filter
housing tabs as shown in figure N1.
Install the dust canister onto the vacuum, until it "clicks"
u
firmly into position.
Note: Ensure the dust port is placed towards the main handle
of the vacuum and the dust canister release button (15) is
facing away from the vacuum (16).
Cleaning the filters (Fig. L, M, N)
Note: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with
clean filters and an empty dust canister. If dust begins to fall
back out of the product after it is switched off, this indicates
that the dust canister is full and requires emptying.
Wash the filters regularly using warm, soapy water and
u
ensure that they are completely dry before using again.
The cleaner the filter is, the better the product will perform.
It is very important that the filters are correctly in
u
position before use.
Pull back on the dust canister release button (15) to
u
release and remove the dust canister (8) from the
vacuum (16) as shown in figure J.
Use your index finger and thumb to pinch the filter
u
tabs (17) and lift the filter housing (18) from the
dust canister as shown in figure K.
