Installing polyethylene bag
With a polyethylene bag installed in the tank, you can
easily empty the tank without letting your hands dirty.
Lay a polyethylene bag over the tank, and slip one side
of the top edge of the bag at its open end in between
the holder plate and the front wall of the tank.

3. Polyethylene bag
Spread the other top edges of the bag outwards over
the top rims of the tank. Place the prefilter over the poly-
ethylene bag to fasten the opening of the bag securely.
► Fig.14: 1. Prefilter
NOTE: A polyethylene bag available on the
market can be used. 0.04 mm or thicker one is
recommended.
NOTE: Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so
do not collect the dust more than the half of the bag
capacity.
Emptying tank with polyethylene bag
WARNING:
is switched off and the battery cartridges are
removed before emptying the tank. Failure to do
so may cause an electric shock and serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
Do not apply a great impact on the
tank. Applying a great impact may cause deformation
and damage to the parts.
NOTICE:
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.
NOTICE:
Do not grab the hooks or latches when
emptying the tank. Grabbing the hooks or latches
may cause them to break.
Release the locking latches and lift the head unit up off the tank.
Shake off dust from the prefilter before lifting the filter
away from the tank.
Then remove the polyethylene bag out of the tank,
closing the opening of the bag by hand.

NOTE: Take the polyethylene bag out of the tank
carefully to avoid it from being scratched and torn by
the edges inside the tank.
NOTE: Empty the polyethylene bag before it
becomes full. Too much dust in the tank may cause
the polyethylene bag to be torn.
