IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious
personal injury:
■ Know your sweeper. Read operator’s
manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations, as well as the specic potential
hazards related to this sweeper. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
re, or serious injury.
■ Do not leave sweeper unattended or
running when turned on.
■ Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
■ Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one sweeper may create a risk of injury when
used on another sweeper.
■ Do not handle battery or sweeper with wet
hands.
■ Do not put any object into openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked; keep free of
dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce
air ow.
■ Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and
all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
■ Turn off all controls before removing
battery.
■ Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance
for any job except that for which it is intended.
■ Don’t Force Appliance - It will do the job
better and with less likelihood of a risk of
injury at the rate for which it was designed.
■ Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
■ Do not operate sweepers in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Sweepers
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
■ Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
■ Keep Children Away - All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
■ A battery operated sweeper with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specied charger for
the battery. A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of re
when used with another battery.
■ Use only the following type and size
battery: 24LB2513 (151.98724). Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of re.
■ Do not operate charger with a damaged
cord or plug, which could cause shorting
and electric shock. If damaged, immediately
discontinue use. Replace the charger with the
identical unit as listed in the Parts List of this
manual.
■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a sweeper. Do not use sweeper while
tired, upset, or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating sweepers may
result in serious personal injury.
■ Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial
footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
■ Secure long hair above shoulder level to
prevent entanglement in moving parts.
■ Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
in the locked or off position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying sweepers with your
nger on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a sweeper with the switch on invites
accidents.
■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dusk mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
4 ― English
■ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be drawn into air vents.
■ Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or
other unstable support. Stable footing on a
solid surface enables better control of the
sweeper in unexpected situations.
■ Do not use sweeper if switch does not
turn it on or off. A sweeper that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
■ For household use only.
■ Remove or disconnect battery before
servicing, cleaning or removing material from
the gardening appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the sweeper accidentally.
■ Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
■ Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the sweeper’s
operation. If damaged, have the sweeper
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained sweepers.
■ Keep the sweeper and its handle dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Always use a
clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake
uids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
or any strong solvents to clean your sweeper.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss
of control and deterioration of the enclosure
plastic.
■ Always wear safety glasses with side

CHARGER INDICATORS
■
Preparation:
The charging process starts
as soon as the battery charger is plugged
into a power supply socket and the battery is
inserted into the charger.
■ If the battery is not inserted,
a continuous
red light
indicates that the charger is plugged
into a power supply socket and is now ready
to begin charging.
■
Charging: a ashing green LED
on the
charger indicates that the battery is charging
normally.
■
Charged: continuous green LED
on the
charger indicates that the battery is ready for
use.
■ The indicator lights on the charger show
the charger status:

charging
green,
continuous
fully charged
■ The intelligent charger ensures maximum
battery life, because it measures the existing
charge level of the battery and then charges
with the required current and voltage. Charge
battery fully before storage.
■
Technical Issue: a flashing red LED light
on the charger indicates that battery pack has
a charging problem or might be defective.
- One possible condition is the battery
temperature is not within the charging
temperature range of 23oF - 122oF or the
charging current is too high. As soon as the
permitted temperature and the charging
current ranges are reached, the battery
charger will automatically switch to charging.
- If the temperature range and charging
current are correct and flashing red LED
light continues, then remove and reinstall
the battery pack. If the LED status repeats a
second time, try to charge another identical
battery. If the battery charges normally,
dispose of the defective battery pack (see

section).
- If the flashing red light continues after
installing the second battery, the charger may
be defective. Replace with a new one.
■ After continuous or repeated charging
cycles without interruption, the charger
surface may become noticeably warm. This
is normal and does not indicate a technical
defect of the battery charger.
■
Green LED flashing rapidly
indicates that
the battery voltage is low, and that charging
will only continue for about another 30
minutes.
WARNING!
