1. Important Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before using the LANCHEZ Cordless Handheld Pool Vacuum. Retain this manual for future reference.

- Automatic Shut-off: If the unit is left idle for more than 1 minute after powering on without being submerged in the pool, it will automatically shut down to prevent damage.
- Charging: Always charge the unit immediately after use. Ensure the charging port is completely dry before connecting the charger.
- Waterproofing: The unit features IPX8 waterproofing for durability.
- Debris Type: This vacuum is designed to pick up acorns, twigs, leaves, dirt, and sand. It is not intended for cleaning algae.
