• 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

component for maintaining the tool performance. If you
use the other genuine paper pack, it may cause
smokes or ignition.
