with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone

Do not use force when inserting the battery

is not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Disposing of Dust
CAUTION:
Empty the cleaner before it becomes too full, or the

suction force weakens.
Be sure to empty out the dust inside the cleaner
•
itself. Failure to do so may cause the sponge filter
to be clogged or the motor to be damaged.
Never throw away the dust stopper because it
•
should be used whenever either the dust bag or the
dust pack is used.
