I n s t r uction Guide

Congratulations on your purchase of the
cordless Swivel Sweeper, the quick &
agile floor and carpet sweeper that
lets you clean dirt and messes
faster and easier than ordinary
cordless sweepers. The Secret:
Swivel Sweeper combines the
cleaning power of Quad Brush
Technology – powerful rotating cleaning brushes pickup dirt and
messes from all four sides of the sweeper head – with a 360°
swivel feature to easily maneuver around furniture and other
objects. Swivel Sweeper glides effortlessly on four gentle floor
sliders while its low-profile design lets you get under couches,
beds and other furniture. It has an extended pole, is super-
lightweight and it’s bagless too! The reusable dirt tray easily
removes for quick disposal of dirt & debris.

USING SWIVEL SWEEPER:
Step 1) Make sure the Swivel Sweeper is turned off. (NOTE: The
" O n / O f f Switch" is located on the front of the "Battery Compart m e n t . "
Step 2) Make sure the "Dirt Tray" is empty (see following directions on
EMPTYINGTHE DIRT TRAY ) .
Step 3) I n s e r t the "Recharg e a b l e
B a t t e r y" down into the "Battery
C o m p a r tment" located on the
f r ont of the pole until it locks into
place (SEE FIG. 4).
Step 4) Turn the Swivel Sweeper on to begin cleaning.
Step 5) When you are done cleaning, turn the Swivel Sweeper off,
remove the "Dirt Tray" and empty the dirt & debris into a garbage
receptacle. (See the following instructions to empty the "Dirt Tray.")
Recharge the battery if necessary.
EMPTYING THE DIRT TRAY:
Step 1) Make sure the Swivel Sweeper is turned off.
Step 2) With the Swivel Sweeper "Base" sitting on the floor or other
flat surface such as a countertop, squeeze and hold the "Dirt Tray
Lock Clips" with one hand and lift the Swivel Sweeper up by its alu-
minum pole with the other hand, to release the "Dirt Tr a y "
(SEE FIG. 5).
TO ASSEMBLE SWIVEL SWEEPER:
Remove the Swivel Sweeper and its components from the box.
I M P O R TA N T: Properly dispose of the plastic bubble wrapping.
Keep away from babies and childre n .
Step 1) Screw together the three "Pole Sections" until secure
(SEE FIG. 1).
Step 2) Align the arrow on the bottom end of the
pole with the arrow on the top end of the "Pole
Base." Now with your thumb and pointer finger,
simultaneously depress the
two buttons on either side of
the plastic connector at the
top of the "Pole Base" and,
with your other hand, slide
the pole all the way down
until it locks into place
(SEE FIG. 2).
CHARGING YOUR BATTERY:
Step 1) Plug the "Battery Charger" into a standard U.S. electrical
outlet as below:
UL/cUL - 120V AC 60Hz
TUV/UK - 220-240V AC 50/60Hz
Step 2) Align the arrow on the "Rechargeable
B a t t e ry" with the arrow on the "Battery Charg e r. "
Then, insert the "Rechargeable Battery" down into
the "Battery Charg e r." (SEE FIG. 3). NOTE: Red
light on the front of the "Battery Charger" should
t u rn on to indicate that the battery is charg i n g .
I M P O R TA N T: For initial battery charge, let battery charge for at least 8
full hours. When re c h a r ging, charge time will vary dependent upon the
amount of power that is left in the battery after its last use.
Recommended re c h a r ging time for the battery after completely deplet-
ing it is 6-8 hours. Battery may be left in charger for extended periods
of time but do NOT exceed 24 consecutive hours. Doing so may lead to
s h o r tened overall battery life. It is not necessary to wait until battery
power is fully depleted before re c h a r g i n g .
I M P O R TA N T: AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FEAT U R E
Swivel Sweeper will automatically shut off to protect its moving part s
if the brushes become bound by carpets, rugs, hair or other objects.
TO RESET THE SHUT-OFF FEAT U R E :
1. Place the "On/Off" switch in the "Off" position.
2. Untangle the sweeper's brushes from the object(s) they are bound by.
Sweeper will be ready to operate within 10 minutes.

Step 4) Use the "Brush Cleaning Tool" to
cut and remove tangled debris. Simply
guide the blade along the shaft of the
"Rotating Cleaning Brushes" (SEE FIG. 9).
Dispose of debris in garbage.
Step 5) Replace the "Tinted Outer Body
Frame" and lock by sliding the "Outer Body
Frame Lock Clips" outward and away from
the pole.
(SEE FIG. 10)
Periodically wipe down your Swivel
Sweeper with a dry or damp lint-free cloth.
Do not use water, liquid cleansers or abra-
sive materials to clean Swivel Sweeper.
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. Swivel Sweeper is sluggish or won't start:
Make sure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into
the "Battery Compartment," and that the pole section with the
"Battery Compartment" is securely connected to the "Pole Base."
2. Battery not charging:
Make sure the battery is fully inserted into the "Battery Charger."
Also, check to make sure that the red indicator light on the battery
c h a rger comes on when charg i n g .
3. Swivel Sweeper operating but not picking up mess:
The "Dirt Tray" may be full. Empty out if necessary (see Emptying
The Dirt Tray Instructions on pg. 5). Also, some debris may be
lodged in carpeting (such as staples) or be too large/heavy for the
sweeper to pick up. Make sure the "Dirt Tray" is attached.
4. Dirt & Debris escaping from sweeper during cleaning:
Make sure the "Dirt Tray" is empty and securely connected to the
sweeper. Also, check to see that the "Rotating Cleaning Brushes"
are not entangled with debris such as hair, paper, etc. Use the
"Brush Cleaning Tool" to clean off, if necessary.
Step 3) Empty the dirt and debris into a
garbage receptacle.
Step 4) Then, place the "Dirt Tray" back on the
floor or other flat surface. Lift up and align the
"Base" of the Swivel Sweeper over the "Dirt
Tr a y." Properly aligned, the Swivel Sweeper
logo on the front of the "Base" of the unit will
face in the same direction as the Peak/Front of
the dirt tray. Set the "Base" down to connect
(SEE FIG. 6).
I M P O R TA N T:If "Dirt Tray" does not secure-
ly connect back up into the "Base," check to
make sure that no small metal debris (e.g.
staples, paper clips etc.) has magnetized to
the Swivel Sweeper’s motor located on the
underside of the "Base."
MAINTAINING YOUR SWIVEL SWEEPER:
Over time, as with any rotating bristle cleaning device, Swivel
Sweeper’s four cleaning brushes will accumulate fine debris such as
hair, thread and other particles. We recommend cleaning the rotating
brushes on occasion using the included "Brush Cleaning Tool."
Step 1) Make sure the Swivel Sweeper is
t u rned OFF and remove the battery to ensure
unit does not accidentally turn on.
Step 2) Unlock the "Tinted Outer Body Frame"
by sliding the two "Outer Body Frame Lock
Clips" inward towards the pole (SEE FIG. 7).
Step 3) Next, lift the "Tinted Outer Body
Frame" up and over the aluminum pole to
remove it. The four rotating brushes are now
completely exposed (SEE FIG. 8).
Caution: Brush Cleaning Tool has sharp
tip and ripping blade. Avoid contact with
tip and ripping blade.
