• Keep ngers, hair and loose clothing from moving parts and openings whilst using the vacuum cleaner.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) 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 not play with the vacuum cleaner. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children.

Battery Safety Precautions:

• Do not place vacuum or batteries near re or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.

• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water immediately.

• Do not charge vacuum in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

• For best results, charge the battery tool in a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but less than 37°C. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.

• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with the skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into the eyes, ush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C.

• The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped.

• The appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains when ever removing the battery.

• The battery is to be disposed of safely.

WARNING: For the purpose of recharging the battery, only use detachable supply unit type YLJXA-A300050 provided with this appliance.

Charger Safety Precautions:

• The charger must not be damp, and should never be used in a damp environment.

• Do not use the charger if it has suered any heavy shock or jolting, or is damaged in any other way.

• Do not conduct charging in a position which may become exposed to sunlight or other heat source. Recommended temperature range at charging vicinity is 10° to 25° C.

• Do not conduct charging operations in the vicinity of ammable materials. Example: Cloth, packaging materials, paint, spray paint or aerosols, lubricant, thinners, petrol containers, gas containers or gas appliances.

• Do not cover any ventilating slots and provide adequate ventilation during operation.

• Never modify, disassemble or attempt to repair the product yourself.

• Do not allow the charger or batteries to become contaminated with any material which could be conductive.

• Remove the plug of the product from the power socket when it is not in use or when cleaning it.

• Protect battery contacts to avoid a short circuit caused by metallic objects which could cause a re or explosion!

• Do not charge batteries which show signs they have leaked electrolyte. Dispose of them properly.

• Never charge a damaged battery.

• Always use the charger supplied with the vacuum cleaner.

• Use only SAA approved 10amp extension cords. Care should be taken to arrange the extension cord as it can be a trip hazard.

• Always carry the vacuum cleaner by the handle.

• Don’t try to short the terminals of the battery and the charger.

• Don’t use the vacuum cleaner with incorrect voltage as this may result in damage or injury to the user. The correct voltage is listed on the rating label.

• Don’t not vacuum plaster dust, concrete dust or any other building or vitreous material.

• Do not vacuum our, baking soda or any other powder-based carpet refresher or deodoriser.

CAUTION: The battery used in this device may present a risk of re or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat or incinerate. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in re. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery or remove

any component projecting from the battery terminals. The battery and charger have no user serviceable parts. Fire or injury may result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.
