BATTERY INSTALLATION

Remove the battery holder by pulling the ring as shown in Figure 1. Insert four fresh alkaline AA batteries making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly and reinstall the battery holder. The battery holder assembly will only fit back into the tool one way. If it does not seem to fit properly, don’t force it. Rotate it one half way around and try it again. Ensure that the battery holder is inserted all the way.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:

Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the equipment.

Do not short battery terminals.

Do not charge batteries.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.

Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.

Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.

Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. When transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

1.To operate, push the Switch in to turn on. Press the Switch in again to turn off. To avoid splatter from a Brush or Pad, turn the scrubber off while the attachment is still in contact with the surface.

2.Because this scrubber is powerful, you don’t have to apply excessive pressure while operating. Use a circular motion on large areas.

Important: If some water leaks into the unit, it will not affect performance. However, should the unit accidentally fall into water without the battery cap in place, shake out loose liquid and allow to air dry overnight.

Tips on Cleaning Agents

IMPORTANT: The power scrubber has been designed for easy, powerful cleaning. If you are uncertain about its use on a surface, test an attachment on a small inconspicuous area before cleaning larger areas.

Always follow manufacturer’s recommendations when using a chemical cleaner such as sprays, foams, rub-on gels, liquid detergents, or bleach solutions.

Do not use with abrasive cleaners on any surface or in the unit.

Always wear rubber gloves and protective eye wear (to avoid splatter) when using irritating cleaners.
