Description
Yato cordless vacuum 18V, body only (YT-85683) is a cordless handheld vacuum that runs on Yato 18 V Li-Ion system batteries. This body-only model is supplied without a battery or charger, so it suits users who already have a battery from the same range. The vacuum’s power is 150 W and the vacuum it produces 9 kPa.
The design is bagless: dirt is collected in a transparent dust container with a washable HEPA filter. The container is removed with a single locking button, emptied and rinsed. The vacuum is intended for dry use : liquids, wet ash or dirt hotter than 40 °C must not be vacuumed.
Without the battery the unit weighs 1.0 kg, which together with being cordless makes it practical for cleaning vehicle interiors, workshop benches, stairs and furniture. The slide switch locks in the I position, so you do not need to hold the switch down while working.
The vacuum comes with two extension tubes and three nozzles: a wide floor nozzle, a narrow nozzle and a crevice nozzle. The nozzles fit directly into the front opening of the container or onto the end of the extension tubes, giving enough reach for the floor and under car seats. Compatible batteries include, for example, the Yato 18V Li-Ion battery range batteries, and for charging you can use the Yato battery charger 18V 2.2A.

Instructions for using the Yato cordless vacuum 18V, body only:
Preparation: Remove the dust container by pressing the locking button and pulling the container off the body. Pull out the filter and detach it from the base by twisting. Clean the container and filter, fit the filter to the base and place it in the container so that the shapes match. Attach the container to the body; a correctly attached container sits flush all the way round its edge.

Use: Push the switch forward with your thumb until the I mark is visible; the vacuum starts and the switch stays in position. Stop it by pushing the switch back to the 0 position. If the suction drops or the motor sounds louder, switch off the unit, remove the battery, empty the container and check the tubes and nozzles for blockages.
Maintenance: Remove the battery before maintenance. Check the container and filter after every use. Clean the outer surface and filter with compressed air at max. 0.3 MPa or with a soft cloth; do not immerse the vacuum in water and do not clean the ventilation openings with sharp metal objects.
