Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, additionally seek

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Unplug the charger from the electrical socket when not in use, before cleaning, maintaining, or servicing the appliance, and if your appliance has an accessory tool with a moving brush, before connecting or disconnecting the tool.
The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped.

•• High For cleaning carpet and area rugs. This mode balances

is turned ON. Run time: Up to 20 minutes.
••• Turbo For maximum suction. This mode is active for 5 minutes and then will default back to high power mode. Run time: Up to 7 minutes.
• Standard For hard floors. Offers the quietest sound.
Run time: Up to 50 minutes.
Note: If your vacuum is difficult to push on carpet or is shutting
OFF abruptly, try reducing the power setting.

Note: All batteries differ when it comes to run time and power production. The cleaning mode you choose and the surfaces you vacuum (long, thick carpet uses more power than short, low pile carpet) affect run time and power produced. To better preserve run time and overall battery life, use the power mode best suited to your cleaning task and only use TURBO mode when you need an additional boost of suction power.
