WARNING
When using an electrical appliance, to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or
property damage, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
23. Turn o the vacuum before plugging in or
unplugging the charger.
24. Turn o the vacuum before any adjustment,
cleaning, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
25. During cleaning or routine maintenance,
DO NOT cut anything other than hair, fibers, or
string wrapped around the brushrolls.
26. Allow all filters to air-dry completely before
replacing in the vacuum to prevent liquid
from being drawn into electric parts.
27. DO NOT modify or attempt to repair the
vacuum or the battery yourself, except as
indicated in this manual. DO NOT use the
battery or vacuum if it has been modified or
damaged. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
28. Always turn o this appliance before
connecting or disconnecting motorized
nozzle or hand tool.
BATTERY PACK
29. The battery is the power source for the
vacuum. Carefully read and follow all
charging instructions.
30. To prevent unintentional starting, ensure
the vacuum is powered o before picking
up or carrying the vacuum. DO NOT carry
the appliance with your finger on the
power switch.
31. For IA3000 Series, use only charging dock
XDCKIA3000NO. For IA1000 Series, only
use battery charger DK30A-263100H-U or
GQ30B-225100-AU.
32. Keep the battery away from all metal objects
such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, or
screws. Shorting the battery terminals
increases the risk of fire or burns
33. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with
this liquid, as it may cause irritation or burns.
If contact occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, seek medical help.
34. Battery should not be stored at temperatures
below 3°C (37.4°F) or above 104°F (40°C) to
maintain long-term battery life.
35. DO NOT charge battery at temperatures
below 5°C (40°F) or above 10C (10F).
Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
36. Store the appliance indoors. DO NOT
use or store it below 3°C (37.4°F). Ensure
the appliance is at room temperature
before operating.
37. DO NOT expose the battery to fire or
temperatures above 265°F (130°C) as it may
cause explosion.
38. Use appliances only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
39. Disconnect the battery pack from the
appliance before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
40. For IA1000 and IA3000 Series, only use
battery pack XIABTR540US.
41. If the charging cord plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO
NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.
42. To reduce the risk of shock and unintended
operation, turn o power and remove the
Li-Ion battery before servicing.
43. Unplug the power cord from outlet when
not in use and before servicing.
44. DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
45. Turn o all controls before unplugging.
46. DO NOT pull or carry by 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. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces
47. The product’s power supply cord should be
directly plugged into an electrical outlet.
Extension cord should not be used
48. The length of the power supply cord
provided on the product is 1.2m.
NOTE: Have servicing provided by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

This product uses a lithium-ion rechargeable and recyclable battery. When the battery no longer holds a
charge, it should be removed from the vacuum and recycled. DO NOT incinerate or compost the battery.
When your lithium-ion battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local
ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a
municipal solid waste stream. Return spent battery to an authorized recycling center or to retailer for recycling.
Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop o the spent battery.
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) seal on the lithium-ion battery indicates that the
costs to recycle the battery at the end of its useful life have already been paid by SharkNinja. In some areas,
it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC
program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC, in cooperation with SharkNinja and other battery users, has established programs in the United
States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment
and conserve natural resources by returning the spent lithium-ion battery to an authorized SharkNinja
service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop o the spent battery, or call 1-800-798-7398.
TIP: You can find the model and serial numbers on
the QR code label on the bottom of the back of the
hand vacuum and battery.
