How To Use
RECHARGING (FIG. B)
From new, the rechargeable cells of the product need a
minimum charge time of 24 hours to ensure full power.
We suggest you fully discharge the product when it is
used for the first time as this will help the cells recharge
faster.
The switch must be in the off ("O") position, the product
will not charge if it is in any other position.
(1) Plug the charger output plug into the charging socket of
the tool as shown in figure B.
(2) Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz
electrical outlet. While charging, the product may get warm,
this is perfectly normal and safe. It can remain on charge
indefinitely without damage or danger. It is not possible to
"overcharge" the battery cells with the charger provided.
OPERATION (FIG. C)
To start, slide the On/Off switch forward (i.e. "O"= Off,
"I" = On). To stop, slide the switch back.
For best performance on hard surface wet pickups, insert
Squeegee into the Bowl Nozzle Opening.
Do not fill the bowl beyond the end of the intake chute. If
there is any liquid in the bowl, do not turn the unit upside
down, sideways, point the nozzle upward, or shake the
vac excessively.
After picking up liquid substances clean the vac and filter
MAY 2009
immediately. Mold and mildew may form if the unit is not
properly cleaned after wet pickups.
Always return the product to the power supply 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 power
supply plug.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT (FIGS . D-H)
WARNING: Never use the Dustbuster without its filters.
NOTE: The filters are re-usable, do not confuse them with disposable dust bags, and do not
throw them away when the product is emptied. We recommend that you replace the
filters every 6-9 months depending on frequency of use.
FIG. D
Remove the dust bowl by turning it
•
counterclockwise slightly and pulling it away from the
handle. To replace the bowl, place it back onto the handle
and twist it clockwise until it "clicks" firmly into position.
FIG. E
Empty the dust from the bowl and wash if necessary
•
(see Fig. G).
FIG. F
While holding the bowl over a wastebasket or sink,
•
pull out the foam filter and hard filter to empty the contents
of the bowl.
FIG. G
Wash the filter regularly using warm, soapy water
•
and ensure that it is completely dry before using it again. The
cleaner the filters are, the better the product will perform. It is
very important that the filter is correctly in position before use.
The dust bowl can also be washed in warm soapy water.
Ensure that it is dry before re-attaching.
IMPORTANT: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained
with clean filters 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.
