The machine is equipped with a machine/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend machine and battery life. The machine will automatically stop during operation if the machine or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the machine or battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the machine automatically stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the machine off and stop the application that caused the machine to become overloaded. Then turn the machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the machine or battery is overheated, the machine stops automatically. In this case, let the machine and battery cool before turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the machine and charge the battery.
Before installing the battery cartridge into the machine, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. |
► Fig.8:
To start the machine, simply pull the switch trigger. The speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
NOTICE: If the machine has been operated continuously until the battery has become empty, rest the machine for at least 15 minutes before operating the machine with a fresh battery.
NOTE: When you start pulling the switch trigger, electronic sound may be emitted from the machine, but it does not mean a malfunction of the machine.
► Fig.9:
The speed can be changed by turning the speed adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 3. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 3. And lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. Refer to the table for the relationship between the number settings on the dial and the speed.
Number | Speed |
3 | High |
2 | Medium |
1 | Low |
NOTICE: When turning the dial, be sure to completely release the switch trigger. Otherwise, the machine may be damaged.
Do not place the machine on the ground while it is switched on. Sand or dust may enter from suction inlet and cause a malfunction or personal injury. |
When performing the blower operation, be sure to remove the dust bag from the machine, and attach the nozzle in place for blowing. |
Hold the machine firmly with a hand and perform the blowing operation by moving it around slowly. When blowing around building, big stone or vehicle, direct the nozzle away from them. When performing an operation in a corner, start from the corner and then move to wide area.

NOTICE: When performing the vacuuming operation, do not use the garden nozzle. The materials sucked may be clogged, and cause a malfunction of the machine.
NOTICE: Do not allow wet materials, such as wet leaves, and foreign materials, such as large wood chips, metals, glass, pebbles, etc., to be sucked into the machine. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
NOTICE: Empty the dust bag before it becomes full. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
Hold the machine with both hands. While operating the machine, adjust the switch trigger so that the suction force is appropriate for the work location and conditions.
