SAFETY WARNINGS

Cordless vacuum cleaner safety warnings
WARNING:
IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY
all safety warnings and all instructions BEFORE
USE . Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Before use, make sure that this cleaner must
1.
be used by people who have been adequately
instructed on the use of this cleaner.
Do not use the cleaner without the filter.
2.
Replace a damaged filter immediately.
3. Do not attempt to pick up flammable materials,
fire works, lighted cigarettes, hot ashes, hot
metal chips, sharp materials such as razors,
needles, broken glass or the like.
4. NEVER USE THE CLEANER IN THE VICINITY
OF GASOLINE, GAS, PAINT, ADHESIVES OR
OTHER HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES.
The switch emits sparks when turned ON and
OFF. And so does the motor commutator during
operation. A dangerous explosion may result.
5. Never vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic, combusti-
ble or other hazardous materials such as asbes-
tos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides,
or other health endangering materials.
6. Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.
Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).
7.
8. Do not block cooling vents. These vents permit cooling
of the motor. Blockage should be carefully avoided oth-
erwise the motor will burn out from lack of ventilation.
9. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
10. Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.
Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice poor per-
11.
formance or anything abnormal during operation.
12. DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES. When not in use,
before servicing, and when changing accessories.
13. Clean and service the cleaner immediately after
each use to keep it in tiptop operating condition.
14. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep the
cleaner clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for changing accessories. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
15. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of mov-
ing parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruc-
tion manual. Have defective switches replaced
by authorized service center. Don't use the
cleaner if switch does not turn it on and off.
16. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
17. STORE IDLE CLEANER. When not in use, the
cleaner should be stored indoors.
18. Be kind to your cleaner. Rough handling can cause
breakage of even the most sturdily built cleaner.
19. Do not attempt to clean the exterior or interior
with benzine, thinner or cleaning chemicals.
Cracks and discoloration may be caused.
20. Do not use cleaner in an enclosed space where flamma-
ble, explosive or toxic vapors are given off by oil-base
paint, paint-thinner, gasoline, some mothproofing sub-
stances, etc., or in areas where flammable dust is present.
21. Do not operate the cleaner while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
22. As a basic rule of safety, use safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields.
23. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions.
24. This machine is not intended for use by persons includ-
ing children with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
25. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the cleaner.
26. Never handle batteries and cleaner with wet hands.
27. Use extreme caution when cleaning on stairs.
28. Do not use the cleaner as a stool or work bench. The
machine may fall down and may result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufac-
turer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
5.
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
