How To Operate Your Cordless Sweeper

Your cordless sweeper will only operate properly when the batteries are fully
charged. Your sweeper will operate for varying lengths of time on a full charge.
This will depend upon the type of surface being cleaned. (Longer operating time on
bare floors vs. carpets.)

2.

Push the On/Off switch to operate the unit. To turn off, press switch again. (Fig. 6)
