perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

Installing or removing battery cartridge
CAUTION:

cartridges. Failure to do so may cause them to slip
off your hands, resulting in damage to the cleaner and
battery cartridges or personal injury.
CAUTION:

Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
The cleaner has double battery slots. With two identical
batteries in parallel, you can extend your running time
in one or more uses without having to stop to recharge
batteries. The cleaner also works with a single battery,
so you can choose with either double batteries or single
battery according to your needs.

With double batteries
Continuous drive with two batteries allows longer run-
time and more efficient cleaning. When the first battery

is becoming empty, the cleaner automatically switches
a power source, so it continues working with the second
3
battery.
NOTE: The left battery slot (when facing the front of
the cleaner) has priority over the right battery slot.
The right battery slot will only be identified as a power
source, either when no battery is installed in the
left battery slot or the battery in the left battery slot
becomes empty.
NOTE: You can remove the battery from the left
battery slot and recharge it after the cleaner has
switched its power source from the left battery slot to
the right without ceasing operation. To give priority
back to the left battery slot after installing a recharged
battery, restart the cleaner.
