GENERAL USE

7. This vacuum is not intended for use by anyone with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT play with the vacuum.

22. Turn off the vacuum before servicing the battery, as well as before plugging in or unplugging the charger.
23. Turn off the vacuum before any adjustment, cleaning, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
24. During cleaning or routine maintenance, DO NOT cut anything other than hair, fibers, or string wrapped around the brushroll.
25. Allow all filters to air-dry completely before replacing in the vacuum to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.
