To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not operate the vacuum cleaner or charger that 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, return it to a
service center.
• To avoid excessive heat and damage to the unit or batteries, do not operate the vacuum cleaner
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 the charger provided to recharge: Model CSD 1300150U-31 for 120 volts.
• 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. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current-carrying capacity for the charger.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the charger, not the cord.
• Do not handle charger or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
• DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE BATTERIES AS THEY WLL EXPLODE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.
• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. If the liquid gets on the
skin (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) 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. Seek
medical attention.
• The terminal on the vacuum cleaner should be kept free and clean of objects. While there is no shock hazard
from the terminal, a burn could occur if metal objects are inserted into the terminal area.
• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from
openings and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without a filter in place. When servicing the unit, never put fingers or other objects into the fan
chamber in case the unit would accidentally be turned on.
• Use extra care when cleaning stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be
present.
• Use the charger indoors in a cool, dry area not exposed to the weather to avoid electrical shock and/or
cleaner damage.
• Keep your work area well lighted.
• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
• Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, mutilation or incineration of the cells and the batteries must
be avoided to prevent one or more of the following occurrences: release of toxic materials, release of
hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface temperature.
• If a cell or a battery has leaked or vented, it should be replaced immediately using protective gloves.
• If and when necessary, these cells or batteries must be replaced with identical new ones from the same
manufacturer. If a cell or a battery to be replaced is connected with other cells or batteries in series, it is
recommended that the other cells or batteries be replaced with new ones at the same time.
• Reverse polarity installation of the cell or the battery in the end product must be avoided.
• Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
