OPERATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RE- CHARGING HOT BATTERIES

When using your hand vac continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes be- fore attempting to recharge.

NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your hand vac causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “ChargingYour Hand Vac” for normal recharging of bat- teries. If the charger/charging assembly does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger/charging assembly to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for elec- trical check.
