Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or powering on the appliance with the switch on may cause accidents.

15. Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, storing the appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally. 16. For the purposes of recharging the battery, only use the detachable supply unit provided with this appliance. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. 17. Use appliances only with specifically designated Tineco battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 18. 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. 19. Under improper usage, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid comes into eye contact, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. 20. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified.
