6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR VACUUM CLEANER
To avoid fire, explosion, or injury, inspect battery pack and chargers for any
damage before use.
▪ DO NOT vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, or coins that could
damage the vacuum cleaner.
▪ DO NOT vacuum up drywall dust, fireplace ash, or embers. DO NOT use as an
attachment to power tools for dust collection.
▪ DO NOT vacuum up smoking or burning objects such as hot coals, cigarette butt s, or
matches.
▪ DO NOT vacuum up flammable or combustible materials, such as lighter fluid, gasoline, or
kerosene, or use vacuum in areas where they may be present.
▪ DO NOT vacuum up toxic solutions (e.g., chlorine bleach, ammonia, or drain cleaner).
▪ 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.
▪ DO NOT vacuum up any liquids.
▪ DO NOT immerse vacuum cleaner in water or other liquids.
▪ Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. To avoid personal injury or damage, and to
prevent the cleaner from falling, always place cleaner at bottom of stairs or on floor.
▪ Do not place cleaner on stairs or furniture, as it may result in injury or damage.
▪ DO NOT immerse in water when cleaning.
▪ If handheld vacuum/wand is damaged, discontinue use.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
7.1 Batteries
▪ Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪ Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
▪ It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪ Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪ Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
− Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
− In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
✓ Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
