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 has the switch on
invites accidents.
• Do not touch nozzle when the vacuum cleaner is on. Danger.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that
may reduce air flow.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

damaged in any way. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped
into water, call the Eureka Customer Service HELPLINE at
1-800-282-2886.
• To avoid excessive heat and damage to the unit or battery, the
vacuum cleaner will not operate 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.

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 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. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.

carrying capacity for the charger.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
• Do not handle charger or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE BATTERIES. THEY
BECOME DANGEROUS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.
• Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. If
the liquid gets on the skin, (1) seek medical attention, (2) wash
quickly with soap and water, and (3) 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.
• 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 burns or a fire.

• 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.

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.
