4. Overlap the frame of dust stopper with that of the dust
pack. (Fig. 18)
5. Place the dust stopper and the dust pack together into
the cleaner cavity in the same direction of arrow on
the dust stopper. Insert them all the way into the slots
in the cleaner cavity. (Fig. 19)
6. Place the entire container part of the dust pack inside
the tool itself. (Fig. 14)
7. Close the front cover completely.
CAUTION:
• Install the dust stopper with the dust bag or dust pack
properly. Tool operation without proper installation of
them, or using broken or ripped one, it may allow dust
to get into the motor. This may result in motor failure.
• Do not fold the cardboard at its opening when installing
the paper pack.
• Never throw away the dust stopper because it needs to
be used repeatedly whenever either the dust bag or the
dust pack is used.
• The paper pack for the cleaner is an important
component for maintaining the tool performance. If you
use the other genuine paper pack, it may cause
smokes or ignition.

attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

After use

Cleaning (Fig. 27)
From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of
the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
Clean out also the suction opening, dust bag/dust pack
mounting area and the dust stopper.
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes small. Dry it out
thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried bag may
cause poor suction and shorten the service life of the
motor. (Fig. 28)
NOTE:
• Dust pack is a throw-away type.
When the sponge filter is clogged with dust, remove it
from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.
Removing and installing the sponge filter
To remove the sponge filter, remove the dust bag or dust
pack and then pinch and take it out. (Fig. 29)
Press in the whole edge of the sponge filter against the
recessed wall inside the dust bag/dust pack mounting
area. (Fig. 30)
CAUTION:
• After cleaning sponge filter, be sure to install it on the
cleaner. If washed in water, dry it up before installing.
An insufficiently dried sponge filter may shorten the
service life of the motor.
