Battery Safety Precautions:
• Do not place vacuum or batteries near re or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possible injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger
that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot
light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless
product in the presence of open ame. An exploded battery can propel debris
and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water immediately.
• Do not charge vacuum in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, charge the battery tool in a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but
less than 37°C. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with the skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or
vinegar. If liquid gets into the eyes, ush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C.
• The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped by a qualied person.
• The appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains when removing the battery.
• The battery is to be disposed of safely.
Charger Safety Precautions:
• The charger must not be damp, and should never be used in a damp environment.
• The charger is for indoor use only.
• Do not use the product if it has suered any heavy shock or jolting, or is damaged in any other way.
• Do not conduct charging in a position which may become exposed to sunlight or other heat
source. Recommended temperature range at charging vicinity is 10° to 25° C.
• Do not conduct charging operations in the vicinity of ammable materials. Example: Cloth,
packaging materials, paint, spray paint or aerosols, lubricant, thinners, petrol containers, gas
containers or gas appliances.
• Do not cover any ventilating slots and provide adequate ventilation during operation.
• Never modify, disassemble or attempt to repair the product yourself.
• Do not allow the charger or batteries to become contaminated with any material which could
be conductive.
• Remove the plug of the product from the power socket when it is not in use or when cleaning it.
• Protect battery contacts to avoid a short circuit caused by metallic objects which could cause
a re or explosion!
• Do not charge batteries which show signs they have leaked electrolyte. Dispose of them properly.
