IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS HAND VACUUM
When using your hand vacuum, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

1. DO NOT use, charge or store the hand vacuum outdoors or on wet surfaces. Store the cordless vacuum indoors. Put vacuum away after use to prevent accidents.
2. Use only as described in this manual.
3. DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. DO NOT leave vacuum unattended while in use.
4. DO NOT handle plug, charger or appliance with wet hands.
5. Fully assemble hand vacuum before operating. DO NOT use hand vacuum cleaner without dust cup filter in place. Use only on dry, indoor surfaces.
6. DO NOT use charger with an extension cord. Plug charger directly into an electrical outlet. Use charger only in a standard electrical outlet.
7. DO NOT attempt to use the charger with any other product nor attempt to charge this product with another charger. Use only the charger model ZD6W210024US supplied with this appliance.
8. DO NOT use charger with damaged cord or plug. If charger or hand vacuum has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, return it to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for examination, repair or adjustment.
9. DO NOT abuse the charger cord, pull cord around sharp edges or corners or close door on cord. Never carry the charger by the cord or yank to disconnect from an outlet; instead grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Keep charger cord away from heated surfaces.
10. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments. Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting the motorized nozzle. DO NOT attempt to change accessories while unit is running.
11. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
12. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
13. DO NOT put any objects into openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
14. DO NOT use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present. DO NOT pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
15. This product includes rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly and safely. The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is discarded. The appliance must be disconnected from the supply when removing the battery. Do not incinerate batteries or expose to high temperatures, as they may explode.
16. DO NOT charge the battery at temperature below 32°F (0°C). This will degrade the battery performance, shorten life and cause gas leakage from venting. Optimum charging efficiancy for the battery is within temperature range of 50°F (10°C) and 86°F (30°C).
17. DO NOT charge with the battery polarity reversed. This will cause battery venting, swelling or rupture.
18. Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. Improper use of the battery can cause the safety vent to activate. Small amounts of liquid (alkaline electrolyte) will leak from the vent near the terminal. If the liquid gets on the skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
19. DO NOT use for any purpose other than described in this user’s guide. Look on your hand vacuum and follow all label and marking instructions.
20. This vacuum is intended for household use only.
21. DO NOT charge the unit outdoors.

BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT & DISPOSAL

23. Connect the terminals to the new battery and insert into the battery compartment; taking care to connect the black lead (-) to the negative connector first and the red lead (+) to the positive connector second and insert into the battery compartment.
