Charging the Vacuum
This vacuum uses a rechargeable 25.2V Lithium battery. We recommend
to fully charge before using for the first time. It takes 3-5 hours.
1. Place the body of the cleaner onto a flat surface either a table or fit
into the wall bracket.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
2. Insert the adaptor cord into the DC jack at the end of the cleaner
handle and plug the adaptor into the mains supply socket (fig.1).
3.
The light indicator shows the status (Fig 2):
Charging: Light 1 flash, light 2 off
Half charged: Light 1 on, light 2 flash
Fully charged: Light 1 & 2 on, then off in 10 mins
Low battery: Light 1 flash, light 2 off
Notes
•Light indicator 1(Fig 2) will flash when the battery is running low
and needs to be recharged, If recharge is not commenced, the
vacuum will power off.
•Only charge or recharge the vacuum indoors.
•Do not recharge the battery when the air temperature is below
0°C or above 37°C.
•Batteries become hot after heavy use and will become difficult to
charge. Allow to cool after use and wait about an hour between
recharges.

Safety
Tools
required
•Before drilling into wall surface, check for hidden cables or
pipes.
•Wear safety goggles and dust mask when drilling.
•The use of a residual current device (RCD) is recommended
when working with power tools.
•Drill fitted with a 6mm masonry drill bit
•Screwdriver
•Pencil
•Ruler
•Spirit level
1. Choose a suitable location for the wall bracket away from areas where
it will get wet or knocked and close to a socket outlet. Check that the
charge cable will reach the mains socket (180cm distance max)
and that there is sufficient space above and below the bracket
(approx.125cm below) for the fully assembled vacuum cleaner
to be inserted. No part of the vacuum cleaner should touch the floor
when fitted into the bracket (fig 6).

Operation
2. Place the bracket in the desired position
and using a pencil, mark the position for the
two screw holes. Using a ruler, draw a line
joining the points marked for the two
screws and using a spirit level, check that it
is on the same level.
3. If fixing to a masonry wall, use a masonry
drill bit, drill holes to a depth of 30mm and
insert the wall plugs.
4. If fixing to ceramic tiles, use a tile and
glass drill bit to drill through the tile and
then drill holes to a depth of
approximately 32 mm using a masonry drill
bit. Insert the wall plugs beyond the depth of
the tile.
5. Hold the bracket into position, align the fixing
holes in the bracket with the wall plugs and
insert the screws until the bracket is
held firmly into position
6. Fit the nozzles onto their storage posts,
and insert the assembled vacuum cleaner
into the bracket (fig.7).
Notes:
•If fixing the bracket to timber, follow the directions above, but
only drill a small pilot hole for each screw and do not use wall plugs.
This fitting is not suitable for mounting onto doors.
•If fixing to hollow plasterboard walls, use a drill bit suitable for
wood and use wall anchors suitable for cavity walls. For
maximum strength locate into wall studs and cross braces if
possible.

3. Alternatively, do not use the extension tube and fit the crevice nozzle
or combination nozzle directly onto the body of the vacuum cleaner
(fig. 9). The floor head can be fitted in a similar manner, but if
using in this configuration ensure hands are kept away from the
floor head during operation – due to a potential entrapment
hazard.
