BEFORE FIRST USE AND TIPS

•  The battery stick is not fully charged when packed in the carton.  Charge the 

battery in the unit for at least 6 hours before first use.  See “Charging the Battery”.

Be sure the battery cover is snapped firmly in place before using the scrubber.

CHARGING THE BATTERY - FIG. 

WARNING:

When disconnecting the Scumbuster from the charger, be sure to unplug the  

charger from the outlet first then disconnect the charger cord from the Scumbuster.

The tool can be left on charge for as long as you desire, a minimum charge of 6 hours is

required to recharge a completely discharged tool.
1. Remove battery cover on the Scumbuster. Plug in the Output cord of the Charger into the

socket in the back of the Scumbuster (See 6 & 7 in Fig. A). 

2. While charging, the Charger may hum and feel warm to touch.  This is normal.
3.   If a battery does not charge properly:

•  check the current at the outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance there to see 

if it will work,

•  see if the outlet is connected to a wall switch which controls the power,
•  move the Charger and battery to a surrounding air temperature of +40°F (5°C) to

105°F (40°C).

4. The battery should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power to clean.      

Typically, run time will be approximately 30 minutes, depending on use. 

WARNING:

Do not attach/remove accessory when unit is running.

1. To connect an attachment, line up the triangular notch on the attachment over the triangular

shaft, push it on, and 

snap twist clockwise quickly into place

. (Fig. B)  The disc attachment

must always be used with a Scrub Pad attached. 

2.

To remove an attachment, snap twist it quickly, then pull it off.

3. To operate, push the Switch in to turn on.  Press the Switch in again to turn off.  To avoid

splatter from a Brush or Pad, turn the Scrubber off while the attachment is still in contact

with the surface.

4. Because this Scrubber is powerful, you don’t have to apply excessive pressure while 

operating.  Use a circular motion on large areas.  

5. You may rinse any attachments/accessories by dipping the Scrubber into a bucket of water

no more than 12 inches (30 cm) deep or running under a faucet.  Do not leave immersed

for more than 5 minutes.

Important:  If some water leaks into the unit, it will not affect performance. However, should
the unit accidentally fall into water without the battery cap in place, shake out loose liquid
and allow to air dry overnight.

TIPS ON CLEANING AGENTS

•  Always follow manufacturer’s recommendations when using a chemical cleaner such as

sprays, foams, rub-on gels, liquid detergents, or bleach solutions.

•  Do not use with abrasive cleaners on any surface.
•  Always wear rubber gloves and protective eye wear (to avoid splatter) when using cleaners.

IMPORTANT:

ScumBuster

®

Cordless Scrubbers have been designed for easy, powerful 

cleaning.  If you are uncertain about its use on a surface, test an attachment on a small 

inconspicuous area before cleaning larger areas.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

NOTE: For best performance, thoroughly clean the Brushes and/or Scrub Pads after each use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BATTERY AND CHARGER

Never attempt to open the battery for any reason.  If the housing of the battery breaks or

cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.

Do not charge a battery if it is wet or shows any evidence of corrosion.

Do not incinerate the battery.  It can explode in a fire.  A small leakage from the battery cell

may occur under extreme usage, charging, or temperature conditions.  This does not 

indicate a failure.  However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
(1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice

or vinegar,  (3) if the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a

minimum of 10 minutes.  Seek medical attention.  

NOTE:

The liquid is a 20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

Do not use an extension cord.  Plug the Charger directly into an electrical outlet.

Use the Charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).

Do not attempt to use this charger with any other product; do not attempt to charge this

product with any other charger.  Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to

recharge. (charger #5102970-03)

Do not use Charger in wet or damp conditions.  It is intended for indoor use only.  Do not

use the Charger near sinks, or tubs.  Do not immerse in water.

Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot 

surfaces.  The Charger should be placed away from sinks and hot surfaces.

Do not operate Charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.

Do not operate Charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise 

damaged in any way.  Return the appliance to any authorized service facility for 

examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.  Do not disassemble Charger.

For best results, do not charge a battery when it or air temperature is BELOW 40°F (5°C) or

above 105°F (40°C).

Unplug the Charger when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.

■    

Do not abuse the cord.  To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, never

carry the Charger by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect; instead, grasp the Charger

plug and pull to disconnect.  Keep Charger cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
