User manual HITACHI CV770DC

[. . . ] · To avoid damage to the dust bag and cleaner mechanics, never use the cleaner to remove sharp articles such as broken glass, hot, volatile or explosive materials such as burning cigarette butts, matches, ashes or other smoking material. · If the cleaner is used to remove very fine particles such as fine sand, cement or similar substances, the pores of the dust bag may become blocked, which will cause the air throughput capacity of the filter to be diminished, resulting in poor performance of the cleaner. If this situation occurs, please replace the dust bag and micro-filters, even if the dust bag is only partly filled. · If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. [. . . ] · Any blockages or obstructions to the suction inlet, rug, floor tool, extension pipe, hose or the exhaust air outlet can cause loss of power and overheat the motor. · The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage caused by incorrect use of the cleaner II. ACCESSORIES Floor nozzle (figure 1) Upholstery nozzle (figure 2) Dusting brush (figure 3) Crevice nozzle (figure 4) Two part telescopic suction tubes (figure 7) For trouble free operation of the cleaner, only use genuine Hitachi bags and micro-filters. 4 III.

The cleaner can be switched ON/OFF with the button showing I/O (figure 8) The suction force can be altered by turning the suction control on the suction hose (figure 9) and by the slide control (figure 10). After you have finished cleaning, unplug the cleaner from the mains. To retract the mains cord into the body of the cleaner, first hold the power plug in your hand then press the button showing a plug (figure 11). CAUTION: the power plug must be held when retracting the power cord to prevent injury due to whiplash etc. To empty the dust bag, proceed as follows: 1. Remove the bag from the holder and the clamp bar by pulling to the side (Figure 30). The cloth bag can be opened and the dust shaken and emptied. Reinstall the clamp bar by following the above procedure in the reverse order. Put the bag back in its holder and install the bag and the holder in the cleaner. Important precautions: - never wash or dip the cloth dust bag in water - never use a damaged cloth dust bag - the safety catch (Figure 20) will not allow the cleaner lid to shut if no dust bag (paper or cloth) has been installed Exhaust micro-filter: The exhaust micro-filter must be installed in the grille cartridge, so that green part of the element is visible from the grille. The second green/white element should be installed behind the first green/white element and the black carbon element should be installed behind the two green/white elements. (The sequence of the filter elements is as follows: grille, green/white, green/white, black carbon. ) Storing the cleaning accessories The upholstery, crevice tools and brush can be stored in the storage compartment of the cleaner under a separate lid (figure 26).
