IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR HAND VAC. When using
an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
• Do not use for any purpose other than described in this
user guide. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at an
authorized service center.
• Do not put any object into opening.
• Do not use with any opening blocked.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle charger, including charger plug and
charger terminal, with wet hands.
• Do not charge the machine outdoors.
• Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to
recharge.
• Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
• Keep openings free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may
reduce airflow.
• 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

• Use extra care when cleaning stairs.
• Do not use without Dirt Bin or filters in place.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials
(lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas
where they may be present.
• Do not use vacuum cleaner in an enclosed space filled
with vapors given off by oil-based paint, paint thinner,
some moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or
other explosive or toxic vapors.
• Do not pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails,
screws, coins, etc.
• Use only on dry, indoor surfaces.
• Do not pull or carry charger by the cord, use cord as a
handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the power is OFF before
picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance
with your finger on the power button or energizing appliance
that have the power on invites accidents.
• Keep the temperature range between 40-104°F when
charging battery, storing machine or during use.

Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.

Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C/265°F may
cause explosion.
