Abstract: A cordless power tool has a housing which includes a mechanism to couple with a removable battery pack. The battery pack includes one or more battery cells as well as a vent system in the battery pack housing which enables fluid to move through the housing. A mechanism is associated with the battery pack to dissipate heat from the battery pack.

Abstract: There is disclosed a suction cleaner having a motor, a body portion housing the motor, and interengageable attachments adapted to be attached to the body portion for cleaning operations requiring different motor speeds. A safety switch is provided within a headlight shroud. Attaching elements are provided on each attachment so that the attachment may be affixed to the body portion of the cleaner. The attaching members are covered by the headlight shroud and are exposed by the shroud when the shroud is pivoted to an open position. The safety switch has a first switch position which disconnects the motor from an electrical circuit and a second switch position which causes the motor to run at a relatively slow speed and a third switch position which causes the motor to run at a relatively high speed. Each attachment is provided with a pin which actuates the safety switch to run at either a high speed for off-the-floor cleaning operations or a low speed for on-the-floor cleaning operations.
