injury.
CAUTION:
Do not apply a great impact on
the tank. A great impact may cause deformation and
damage to the parts.

Empty the tank at least once a day
although this depends on picked-up dust volume
in the tank. Or, the suction force will weaken and the
motor may be broken.
CAUTION:
Do not grab the hook when empty-
ing the tank. Grabbing the hook may cause the hook
to break.
