•
This product includes rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, as they
may catch fire and/or explode.
•
Do not expose battery to crushing, incineration or similar actions.
•
Do not dispose of battery in a fire or trash compactor. See battery disposal section for directions.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble battery.
•
Unplug the charger from the outlet before any routine cleaning or maintenance.
•
Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If any liquid gets on the skin wash quickly with soap
and water. If any liquid gets into the eyes, do not rub eyes, immediately flush them with clean water continuously
for a minimum of 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
•
Use only the charger (Hoover Commercial Part #CH90002) supplied by Hoover Commercial to recharge.
•
Use only the battery (Hoover Commercial Part #CH90040) supplied by Hoover Commercial. Other batteries may

where they may be present.
•
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
•
Do not use without Filters and/or Dust Bag in place.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking
up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that
have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliance. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
•
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.
•
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
•
When battery pack is 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 burns or a fire.
•
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 use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
265°F may cause explosion.
•
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.
•
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.

Industries, a corporate affiliate of Hoover Commercial, is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect
and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada.
The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Li-ion batteries into the trash or the municipal
waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please visit www.rbrc.org/call2recycle/
for information on Li-ion battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area.
Hoover Commercial involvement in this program is part of our commitment to preserving our
environment and conserving our natural resources.
