ENGLISH IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER. WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury: • Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. • Do not operate the vacuum cleaner or charger if it has been damaged in any way. If 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 the charger provided to recharge: Kings model KU2B-150-0200D or Ktec KA12D150020033U. • Do not pull or carry by the cord, use cord as a handle, close 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. • Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the charger, not the cord. • Do not handle the charger or vacuum cleaner with wet hands. • DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE BATTERIES AS THEY WILL EXPLODE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES. • Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. If the liquid gets on skin, wash quickly with water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention. • 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. • This vacuum cleaner creates suction and has a revolving brushroll. 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 on stairs. • Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use on areas where they may be present. • Locate charger indoors in a cool, dry area, not exposed to weather to avoid electrical shock and/or cleaner damage. • Keep your work area well lighted. • Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
