EMPTY

6. When you’re finished cleaning, empty the No-Touch dust cup. Simply press the dust cup release pedal and lift out the dust cup. (fig. 5)

2. Insert the Shark® Backsaver™ folding handle you just assembled into the base. You should hear the locking tab click into place. (fig. 2)

IMPORTANT : You must charge the batteries for 7 hours before using the floor and carpet sweeper for the first time. See page 12 for instructions on charging your unit.

USING YOUR CORDLESS FLOOR AND CARPET SWEEPER

If the brush roll stops moving, it’s probably due to the anti-jam feature. This feature protects the motor from becoming overheated. If the brush becomes overloaded, it will stop turning and both speed indicator lights will stay on. Turn off your unit by pressing the On/Off button once. Then remove the brush roll cover from the floor and carpet sweeper base and remove any hair or fiber that may be on the brush roll. Wait for 10 seconds
to let your unit cool down. Now press the On/Off button again and you’re ready to resume cleaning!
See page 13 for further instructions on removing or cleaning the brush roll.

1. Press the On/Off button to start the floor and carpet sweeper. When finished cleaning, press the On/Off button again to turn the unit off. (fig. 3)

2. You can adjust the speed of the brush roll to suit the floors that you are cleaning. Press the button on the right (opposite the On/Off button) to switch between speeds. One light indicates the speed optimized to clean bare floors and two lights indicate the speed optimized to clean carpets and larger debris on bare floors. (fig. 4)

3. To clean under furniture, use the Shark® Backsaver™ folding handle. Press the handle release button and apply a bit of pressure to bend the handle forward. (fig. 5) The Shark® Backsaver™ joint will release from the locked position to reach messes under furniture. (fig. 6)

CHARGING YOUR CORDLESS FLOOR AND CARPET SWEEPER

1. Always make sure that the unit is turned off. (fig. 7)

(fig. 8) Plug the charger into a wall outlet. The light next to the On/Off button will illuminate when the unit is charging. If the unit is plugged in and the light is not illuminated, press the On/Off button once. The  light should now be illuminated indicating that the unit is charging. The light will turn off once the charge is completed.(fig. 9)

3. Let the battery recharge for 7 hours. Your cordless floor and carpet sweeper is powered by Ni-MH batteries that need this time to build up their charge.

4. For best battery performance, remove the charging adapter from the unit after the charging period has completed. Storing the unit with the adapter attached and plugged in will reduce battery life.

IMPORTANT : Although many adapters look similar, it’s important to use only the adapter that came with your floor and carpet sweeper (XA2950).

EMPTYING THE DUST CUP

1. Press the dust cup release pedal on the floor and carpet sweeper base to remove the No-Touch dust cup. (fig. 10)

2. Hold the dust cup over a trash can and push the bottom-empty button located on the lower portion of the handle. The trap door will spring open and release the debris into the trash can. (fig. 11)

3. To re-insert the dust cup, position it over the floor and carpet sweeper base and press down gently until it snaps into place. (fig. 12)

Fo r easy insertion into the base, tip the dust cup slightly forward.
