How To Operate Your Cordless Sweeper
1. Before using, please ensure that the cordless sweeper has been initially
charged for 20 hours.
Your cordless sweeper will only operate properly when the batteries are fully
charged. Your sweeper will operate for varying lengths of time on a full charge.
This will depend upon the type of surface being cleaned. (Longer operating time on
bare floors vs. carpets.)
2. Push the On/Off switch to operate the unit. To turn off, press switch again. (Fig. 6)
3. To release the handle to a comfortable position, gently apply pressure to the top of
the sweeper head with your foot while pulling back on the handle. (Fig. 7)
4. To change the speed of the sweeper, press on the speed control button. As you
press on it, the speed indicator light will change. If one light lights up, you have the
low speed for hard floors; two lights, medium speed for carpeting; three lights, high
speed for turbo deep cleaning. (Fig. 8)
Anti-Jam Brush Roll Feature
This feature protects your unit's motor from damage due to overheating, that may be
caused by the rotating brush getting jammed or tangled in something. If the rotating
brush becomes overloaded it will stop turning and both speed indicator lights will
remain flash at the same time. To reset the unit:

build up of lint, hair or fiber on the rotating brushes.
