nozzle, wand, vacuum pod, handle,
and hose. These components contain
electrical connections, electrical wiring,
and moving parts that potentially present
risk to the user.

2. Before each use, carefully inspect
all parts for any damage. If a part is
damaged, discontinue use.

3. Use only identical replacement parts.

4. This vacuum contains no serviceable parts.

5. Use only as described in this manual.
DO NOT use the vacuum for any purpose

other than those described in this manual.

6. With the exception of filters, DO NOT
expose any parts of the vacuum to water
or other liquids.

GENERAL USE

7. This vacuum is not intended for use by

anyone with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they DO NOT
play with the vacuum.

8. Always turn o the vacuum before
connecting or disconnecting any current
carrying hoses, motorised nozzles,
chargers, batteries, or other electrical or
mechanical parts.

9. DO NOT handle plug or vacuum with
wet hands.

10. DO NOT use without dust cup, filters, and
brushrolls in place.

11. Only use Shark® branded filters and
accessories. Failure to do so will void
the warranty.

12. DO NOT put any objects into nozzle or
accessory openings. DO NOT use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, and anything that may reduce
air flow.

13. DO NOT use if nozzle or accessory airflow
is restricted. If the air paths or the
motorised floor nozzle become blocked,
turn the vacuum o and remove the
battery. Remove all obstructions before
you reinsert the battery and turn on the
unit again.

14. Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings
away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered
feet, or loose clothing.

15. DO NOT use if vacuum is not working as
it should, or has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water.

16. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

17. DO NOT leave the vacuum unattended

while powered on.

18. When powered on, keep the vacuum
moving over the carpet surface at all
times to avoid damaging the carpet fibres.

removing the battery, as well as before
plugging in or unplugging the charger.

battery before any adjustment, cleaning,
maintenance, or troubleshooting. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the appliance accidentally.

24. During cleaning or routine maintenance,
DO NOT cut anything other than hair,

fibres, or string wrapped around the
brushroll.

25. Allow all filters to air-dry completely
before replacing in the vacuum to
prevent liquid from being drawn into
electric parts.
