When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING (THIS APPLIANCE).
• Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces when charging. Store indoors. Use indoor only.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children, pets or plants.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Use the maintenance brush carefully to avoid injury. Keep out of reach of children.
• 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,
return it to a service center.
• 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.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle power cable, including power cable plug, and power cable terminals with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Do not immerse. Use only on carpet moistened by cleaning process.
• Brush may start unexpectedly. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, keep the power off before cleaning or servicing.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your
finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Recharge only with the power cable specified by the manufacturer. A power cable that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
