IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not operate the vacuum cleaner or charger that has been damaged in any way.

If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service centre.

• To avoid excessive heat and damage to the unit or batteries, do not operate the

vacuum cleaner while in the charging stand.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near

children.

• Use only as described in this manual.

• Use only the charger provided to recharge.

• Do not pull or carry the charger by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord,

or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the charger, not the cord.

• Do not handle charger or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

• DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE BATTERIES AS THEY WILL EXPLODE AT

HIGH TEMPERATURES.

• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme usage or termperature conditions.

If the liquid gets on the skin (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize
with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush
them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical
attention. NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

• The terminal on the vacuum cleaner should be kept free and clean of objects. While

there is no shock hazard from the terminal, a burn could occur if metal objects are
inserted into the terminal area.

• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts

of body away from openings and moving parts.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or

hot ashes.

• Do not use without a filter in place. When servicing the unit, never put fingers or

other objects into the fan chamber in case the unit would accidentially be turned on.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in

areas where they may be present.

• Locate the wall bracket indoors in a cool, dry area not exposed to the weather to

avoid electrical shock and/or cleaner damage.

• Keep your work area well lighted.

• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The cordless vacuum cleaner is the answer for quick, convenient, and easy cleanups.
Grab the cleaner for little tasks rather than using a larger cleaner. Place the wall bracket
in any area of easy access that allows versatile cleaning of kitchen crumbs, window
sills, or steps. Always store the cleaner in the wall bracket to provide a ready charge.

Charge for 14-16 hours before first use.

Batteries could lose charge in shipping.

It is best to charge the batteries when temperatures are between 32⬚F (0⬚C) and 104⬚F
(40⬚C). Other temperatures could damage batteries.

While charging, the charger may become warm to the touch. This is a normal condition
and does not indicate a problem.

Important Battery Disposal Information
Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

Your vacuum cleaner uses nickel-cadmium batteries in a removable
pack. To protect our environment, properly dispose of the battery pack
when the batteries no longer hold a charge. A municipal waste will not
dispose of the battery pack.

and you plan to dispose of them.
