IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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
has the switch on invites accidents.
Do not touch nozzle when the vacuum cleaner is
on. Danger.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use
with any openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not operate the vacuum cleaner or charger if it
has been damaged in any way. If vacuum cleaner
is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water,
call the Eureka Customer Service HELPLINE at
1-800- 282-2886.
To avoid excessive heat and damage to the unit or
battery, the vacuum cleaner will not operate while
charging.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturers recommended attachments.
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.
Do not pull or carry the charger 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.
This charger is not intended for use by travelers.
Do not use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current-carrying capacity for the

Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle charger or vacuum cleaner with
wet hands.
Use appliances only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE BATTERIES.
THEY BECOME DANGEROUS AT HIGH TEMPERA-
TURES.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns. If the liquid gets on the skin,
(1) seek medical attention, (2) wash quickly with
soap and water, and (3) neutralize with a mild
acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid
gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes.
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.
This product is functioning at temperature range
within 40°F- 104°F.
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 266°F 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.
