Shorten the extendable pipe. (P.E-3)
Insert the charging station protrusion into the attachment groove of the body.
The indicator lamp lights up in red when the body is set on the charging station.
When fully charged, the indicator lamp turns off.
How to charge
The battery is not sufficiently charged at the time of purchase. Please charge it before use.
(Charge time is approx. 3.5 hours.)
If the indicator lamp does not turn on in red or if it immediately turns off, lift the body and set it on the charging station again.
When you use the cleaner for the first time or when you have not used it for a long period of time, make
sure to charge it before use because the operating time may be shorter or charge time may be longer.
When charging the cleaner near a radio, the radio may be interrupted by noise or the radio program
may be difficult to hear.
When charging, place the charging station 2 m or more away from the radio and use separate sockets.
Note
If you remove the body from the charging station while the indicator lamp is off and then set it on the charging
station again, the indicator lamp will turn on, which is normal.
The standard charge time is approx. 3.5 hours. However, the charge time may vary depending on usage.
The body or charging station may become hot while charging, which is normal.
The body will not operate even if the control button is pressed while charging.

Note
Make sure to charge when you are finished cleaning, regardless of the operating time.
If you will not use the cleaner for a month or more, fully charge and store it, and charge it once a year.
(Storing it when there is no remaining battery level will cause the battery performance and life to deteriorate.)
If the battery is depleted and operation stops during cleaning, the cleaner may be operable for a short while by
pressing the control button again. However, do not repeat this procedure. The battery life will shorten.
Charge in areas where the room temperature is between 5°C and 35°C. The battery may not charge properly in

Fine dust may disperse in the air when emptying the dust case.
Empty the dust case in a well-ventilated environment such as outdoors, or wear a mask and avoid
breathing in the dust.
Cyclonic cleaners have the advantage of not requiring paper bags,
but to clean with high suction power, we recommend frequent disposal of dust and
filter maintenance.
Check whether the dust in the dust case exceeds the "Max line".
When you empty the "dust case", remove dust
from the "clean filter" too. (P.E-16 to E-18)
If dust is wrapped around the inner cylinder filter
