 Have the vacuum cleaner repaired only
through qualified specialists and only using
original spare parts. This ensures that the safety
of your vacuum cleaner is maintained.
 Do not clean the vacuum cleaner with a water
jet pointed directly at it. The penetration of wa-
ter into the vacuum cleaner lid increases the risk
of an electric shock.
 The intake port and ventilation slots must not
be shut, covered or clogged. This is to ensure
proper operation of the motor.
 Do not vacuum any sharp-edged objects such
as broken glass, nails, stones, needles or ra-
zor blades. This is to ensure that the filter is not
damaged.
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuit-
ing.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed 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 irrita-
tions or burns.
 In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the
area and seek medical help in case of com-
plaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory
system.
 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 the battery only in conjunction with your
BTI product. This measure alone protects the
battery against dangerous overload.
 The battery pack can be damaged by pointed
objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
