- Do not use the charger with a damaged cord or plug. If the vacuum cleaner, charger, or battery pack is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.
- Do not pull or carry the charger by a cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
- Do not unplug the charger by pulling on the cord. To unplug the charger, grasp the plug, not the cord.
- Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
- Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before picking up or carrying the appliance.
- Do not attempt to charge the appliance with the switch in the on position.
- Disconnect the battery pack before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the product. Such preventative measures reduce the risk of starting the product accidentally.
- 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.
- For use only with XIAMEN XDROID XZ2700-1000G1 charger.
- Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- For use only with an LB1024 battery pack.
- When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
- Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush the affected area with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, seek medical help.
- Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
- Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner, charging adapter, or battery packs in water or other liquids.
- Always turn the vacuum off before connecting or disconnecting the main body to or from the vacuum.
- Always clean the dust cup after vacuuming carpet cleaners or fresheners, powders, and fine dust. These products clog the filters, reduce airflow, and can cause damage to the vacuum cleaner. Failure to clean the dust cup could cause permanent damage to the vacuum cleaner.
- Store the cordless vacuum indoors. Put the vacuum away after use to prevent accidents.
- Keep the vacuum moving over the carpet surface at all times to avoid damaging the carpet fibers.
- Do not use in an enclosed space where vapors are present from paint, paint thinner, moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic materials.

- Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
- While there is no shock hazard from electrical terminals located on the vacuum, a burn could result from metal objects being inserted into the terminal areas. Vacuum cleaner terminals should always be kept free of objects.
- Store the charger indoors in a cool, dry area, not exposed to the weather to avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the vacuum cleaner.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to
protect the vacuum cleaner suction motor. If a clog prevents normal airflow to
the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically. This
allows the motor to cool to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To reset the thermal protector: Turn the vacuum cleaner off and disconnect the battery pack to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protectors to reset.
CAUTION
Always return the vacuum cleaner to the upright position before using the
hose and attachments. Failure to do so may result in overheating of the
brushroll motor and can cause the thermal protectors to trip. Check for and
remove clogs, and empty the dust cup if necessary. Also, check and clean any
clogged filters. Wait approximately 50 minutes before restarting the vacuum
cleaner.
Hair Eliminator® Brushroll
For best performance, the motorized nozzle is equipped with a hair eliminator®
brushroll, which prevents the build-up of hair, string, and other debris on
the brushroll. To remove any hair wrapped around the brushroll, simply
continue vacuuming, allowing the brushroll to automatically remove the hair
wrap and send it to the dust cup.
CAUTION
Moving parts! To reduce the risk of personal injury, DO NOT touch the
brushroll when the vacuum is on. Contacting the brushroll while it is rotating
can cut, bruise, or cause other injuries.
BRUSHROLL RESET
To prevent motor damage from jams, the brushroll features built-in overload
protection. If the brushroll encounters a blockage, it will slow down or stop
completely. In such cases, the overload protector automatically shuts off the
brushroll motor (indicated by a red light on the display) while the vacuum
cleaner itself continues suctioning.
To correct the problem: Turn off and disconnect the battery pack. Remove the obstructions, then reinstall the battery pack and turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The brushroll status indicator on the display screen will be off. If the problem persists, contact the vacuum cleaner helpline for assistance.
VACUUM MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Always follow all safety precautions when performing maintenance on the vacuum cleaner.
WARNING
Electrical Shock and Personal Injury Hazard Disconnect the battery pack
before servicing or cleaning the vacuum cleaner. Failure to do so could result
in electrical shock or personal injury from the vacuum cleaner suddenly
starting.
WARNING
The motorized nozzle is equipped with sharp comb teeth inside. DO NOT touch
comb teeth when servicing or cleaning the vacuum, which may cause personal
injury.
CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS
- Turn off and disconnect the battery pack from the vacuum cleaner. DO NOT drip water on a vacuum cleaner.
- To clean the exterior, or to reduce static electricity and dust build-up, wipe the outer surface with a clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe dry after cleaning.
NOTE: Wash attachments in warm soapy water, rinse, and air dry. Do not clean in dishwasher.
CAUTION
Do not use attachments if they are wet. Attachments used in dirty areas,
such as under a refrigerator, should not be used on other surfaces until they
are washed. They could leave marks.
