ies mounted.
•
Mounting two batteries
With two batteries mounted side by side, battery

the appliance automatically switches to battery “2”
without a pause in operation.

battery “1” unless battery “2” is exhausted or the ON/
OFF switch is turned off.
•
Mounting one battery
The mounted battery is detected automatically.

The main brushes become worn down. Check
and adjust the height of the main brushes regularly.
If it is not possible to adjust the brushes sufficiently,
replace them.
How to check the appropriate main
brush height
NOTICE:
Observe the appropriate height.
Too
much pressure on the main brush accelerates the
wear of the main brush and shorten run-time.
A main brush track width indicates the appropriate
height of the main brush.
1.
Raise up the front of the appliance by holding
the grip or handle. Move the appliance to a flat surface
covered with the following materials, and then gently
lower the appliance onto the surface.
•
Layer of dust
•
Layer of chalk
2.
Turn on the ON/OFF switch and rotate the main
brushes approx. 15 - 30 seconds.
3.
Turn off the ON/OFF switch. Raise the front of the
appliance to prevent the main brush from contacting the
surface and move the appliance to another area.
Check that the main brush track is evenly rectangular,
25 - 40 mm (1" - 1-9/16") wide.
Readjust the height by using the main brush height
adjusting knob if the track shape is inappropriate.
