MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
○ For inspection and maintenance, be sure to turn off the
vacuum switch and disconnect the battery.
○ Do not work with wet hands. May cause electric shock
or injuries.
1. Maintenance of fi lter
NOTE
○ Since a fi lter is a consumable, we recommend you to
prepare spares.
○ The cloth fi lter should simply be tapped even if it is
considerably clogged. Strong brushing will shorten its
life.
○ Do not hurl a fi lter. May break its resin part.
A clogged fi lter will decrease the suction power
remarkably. Tap the inner side of the fi lter to drop off
dusts regularly.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on
the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
5. Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Do not use bleach,
chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for they may damage the
plastics.
6. Storage
Storing in a place below 40°C and out of the reach of
children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries
dead and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
