If the brush roll stops moving, it’s probably

due to the anti-jam feature. This feature
protects the motor from becoming overheated.
If the brush becomes overloaded, it will stop
turning and both speed indicator lights will
stay on. Turn off your unit by pressing the
power button once. See page 9 for instructions
on removing or cleaning the brush roll. Wait
for 10 seconds to let your unit cool down. Now
press the power button again and you’re ready
to resume cleaning!

1 Always make sure that the unit

is turned off. (Fig. 3)

2 Insert the charger plug into the

hole on the back of the unit.
Plug the charger into a wall
outlet. The light next to the
power button will illuminate
when the unit is charging. If the
unit is plugged in and the light is
not illuminated, press the power
button once. The light should
now be illuminated indicating
that the unit is charging.
(Fig. 4)

CHARGING YOUR CORDLESS FLOOR AND CARPET SWEEPER

3 Charge the battery for 20 hours

before initial use and 16 hours
for each recharge. Your cordless
floor and carpet sweeper is
powered by Ni-Cd batteries that
need this time to build up their
charge.

4 Remove the charging adapter

from the unit after the charging
period has completed. Storing

the unit with the adapter
attached and plugged in will
reduce the battery life.

IMPORTANT: Although many

adaptors look similar, it’s
important to use only the
adaptor that came with the unit
(XA2940).

NOTE: If you notice a decrease in
run time over time, recondition
the batteries by running the
sweeper until the sound drops
significantly, then turn off the
unit and charge for 20 hours.

This battery reconditioning process
can also be performed as monthly
maintenance.

1 Press the power button to start

the unit. The lights on the unit
will illuminate. When finished
cleaning, press the power
button again to turn the unit off.
(Fig. 5)
