IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Risk of injury to persons – Always turn off the handheld vacuum and upright vacuum before connecting it to the upright
vacuum.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that
may reduce air flow.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not operate the vacuum cleaner or charger that has been damaged in any way. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• To avoid excessive heat and damage to the unit or batteries, do not operate the vacuum cleaner while charging.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Use only the charger provided to recharge: Ktec, model # KA12D130020033U.
• Do not pull or carry the charger by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current-carrying capacity for the charger.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the charger, not the cord.
• Do not handle the charger, including charger plug, and charger terminals with wet hands.
• DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE THE BATTERIES, NOR INCINERATE THE VACUUM EVEN IF SEVERLY DAMAGED
AS THE BATTERIES WILL EXPLODE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.
• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. If the liquid gets on the skin (1)
wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into
the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.
• The terminal on the vacuum cleaner should be kept free and clean of objects. While there is no shock hazard from the
terminal, a burn could occur if metal objects are inserted into the terminal area.
• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without a filter in place. When servicing the unit, never put fingers or other objects into the fan chamber in
case the unit would accidentally be turned on.
• Use extra care when cleaning stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
• Use the charger indoors in a cool, dry area not exposed to the weather to avoid electrical shock and/or cleaner dam-
age.
• Keep your work area well lighted.
• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
• Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, mutilation or incineration of the cells and the batteries must be avoided
to prevent one or more of the following occurrences: release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas,
rise in surface temperature.
• If a cell or a battery has leaked or vented, it should be replaced immediately using protective gloves.
• If and when necessary, these cells or batteries must be replaced with identical new ones from the same manufacturer.
If a cell or a battery to be replaced is connected with other cells or batteries in series, it is recommended that the other
cells or batteries be replaced with new ones at the same time.
• Reverse polarity installation of the cell or the battery in the end product must be avoided.
• Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
• Do not charge the vacuum cleaner outdoors.
