CHARGING THE BATTERY (HLVA325J)
WARNING: For use only with the supplied charger.
From new, the rechargeable cells of the product need a
minimum charge time of 16 hours to ensure full power.
•
The switch must be in the off ("O") position, the product
will not charge if it is in any other position.
•
Figure B - Plug the jack plug ( 10 ) of the charger into
the charging socket ( 11 ) of the tool. Plug the charger
into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet or 220
Volts 50 Hz for the 220V models.
•
While charging, the charger may get warm, this is
perfectly normal and safe. It is safe to leave the
appliance connected to the charger indefinitely. The
charger automatically reduces power consumption
when charging is complete.
WARNING: Do not charge the battery at ambient
temperatures below 39°F (4°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
•
Figure D - To start, slide the On/Off switch ( 1 )

•
To stop, slide the switch back.

Return the product to the charger immediately after
use so that it will be ready and fully charged for the
next use. Ensure that the product is fully engaged with
the charger plug
CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE PRODUCT
WARNING: Projectile/Respiratory Hazard: Never use
the vac without its filter.
NOTE: The filter is re-usable, do not confuse it with a
disposable dust bag, and do not throw it away when the
product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the
filter every 6–9 months depending on frequency of use.
There are two methods of cleaning the bowl, a quick
empty method and a thorough clean method.
For a quick empty (Fig. E, F)
•
Figure E - Press the dust bowl release button ( 2 ) on
the handle and remove the dust bowl.
•
The top of the bowl is open when the bowl is removed
so that dust can be easy dumped without touching
the filter.
•
Figure F - Empty the dust from the bowl ( 3 ).
•
To replace dust bowl, place it back onto the handle
until it "clicks" firmly into position.
For a more thorough cleaning, remove bowl as
described below.
For a more thorough cleaning (Fig. G, H)
•
Figure G - Press the dust bowl release button ( 2 ) on
the handle and remove the dust bowl.
•
Remove filter from within the bowl.
•
Shake or lightly brush any loose dust off filter.
•
The dust bowl ( 3 ) and filter can be washed in warm
soapy water. Allow to dry before placing back into
the vac.
•
Place filter back into the bowl pressing firmly to
ensure a secure fit.
•
To replace dust bowl, place it back onto the handle
until it "clicks" firmly into position.
IMPORTANT: Maximum dust collection will only be
obtained with a clean filter and an empty dust bowl. If
dust begins to fall back out of the product after it is
switched off, this indicates that the bowl is full and
requires emptying.
