• 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.
• Do not charge the battery at ambient temperature below 39°F (4°C) or above 104 °F (40°C). Also keeping the temperature range of
between 39-104°F when storing unit or during use.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, 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 charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger 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.
• 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.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
product is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
• Place the cords from other appliances out of the area to be cleaned.
