IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS • Remove battery when the vacuum is not in use and before servicing. • Use battery only with charger listed. For use with Hoover ONEPWR Lithium Ion Batteries, see page 8 for battery and charger compatibility. • 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. Do not use charger outdoors. • Use product only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. • When 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 sparks, burns, or a fire. • Always remove battery pack from your product when you are assembling parts before making any adjustments, changing accessories, storing product, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidential starting that could cause serious personal injury. • Do not use a battery pack or product that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. • Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care. • To reduce the risk of explosion and serious personal injury, never use or expose battery pack or any cordless product in the presence of an open flame or temperatures above 265°F. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately. • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the product. Carrying battery products with your finger on the switch or energizing battery products that have the switch on invites accidents. • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. • Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location.

Do not store outside or in vehicles. • Do not store or charge battery outdoors or on wet surfaces. Do not allow to get wet. • 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. • Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
