IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
WARNING!
REAd ANd UNdERSTANd ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS BLOWER. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
 do not leave blower unattended or running when
turned on.
 do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one blower may create a risk of injury when
used on another blower.
 do not handle plug or blower with wet hands.
 do not put any object into openings. do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
 Turn off all controls before removing battery.
 Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
 do not operate blowers in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Blowers create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a blower. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
 A battery operated blower with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery.
 Use battery operated blower only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
 Use battery only with charger listed.
 do not operate blower with a damaged cord or plug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized
serviceman.
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power blower. do
not use blower while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating blowers may result in serious personal
injury.
 dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked
or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying
blowers with your finger on the switch or inserting the bat-
tery pack into a blower with the switch on invites accidents.
 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
 do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
 do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
blower in unexpected situations.
 do not use blower if switch does not turn it on or off.
A blower that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
 disconnect battery pack from blower or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the blower. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the blower accidentally.
 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 terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the blower’s operation. If damaged, have the
blower serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained blowers.
 Keep the blower and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
