ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

 

WARNING! 

To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due 
to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in 
fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, 
such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Turn off the product, remove the battery pack, and allow it to cool 
before storing or transporting.
Clean all foreign materials from the product. Store the product in a 
cool, dry, and well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. 
Keep the product away from corrosive agents, such as garden 
chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store the product outdoors.
For transportation in a vehicle, secure the product against movement 
or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage to the product.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Transport the battery pack in accordance with local and national 
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when 
transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can 
come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while 
in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-
conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked 
or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

MAINTENANCE

 

WARNING! 

Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories, and 
attachments. Failure to do so can cause possible injury, can contribute 
to poor performance, and may void your warranty.

 

WARNING! 

Servicing requires extreme care and knowedge and should be 
performed only by a qualified service technician. Have the product 
serviced by an authorised service centre only. When servicing, use 
only original replacement parts.
Do not make adjustments and repairs that are not described in this 
manual. For other repairs, contact an authorised service centre.
After each use, clean the product with a soft, dry cloth.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper 
tightness to ensure that the product is in safe working condition. Any 
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an 
authorised service centre.
Bring the product to an authorised service centre to replace damaged 
or unreadable labels.

CLEARING A BLOCKAGE

To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, 
always turn off the product, remove the battery pack, and make sure 
that all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
Remove the blower tubes to inspect for blockage. Clear the tubes if 
required.
Re-install the blower tubes before starting the product.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible 
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following 
hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to 
avoid the following:

 

injury caused by vibration

 

Always use the right tool for the job, hold the product by the 
designated handles and use the lowest speed necessary to 
achieve the task.

 

injury caused by exposure to noise

 

Wear ear protection and limit exposure.

 

injury caused by flying objects from the blow tube airflow

 

Wear eye protection at all times.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may 
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms 
may include tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually 
apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to 
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices are all thought 
to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are 
measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the 
effects of vibration:

 

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the 
product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is 
reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to 
Raynaud’s Syndrome.

 

After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood 
circulation.

 

Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day. 

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately 
discontinue use and see your physician.

 

WARNING! 

Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use of the 
product. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure to take 
regular breaks.

SYMBOLS

Read and understand all instructions before 

operating the product. Follow all warnings and 

safety instructions.

Wear ear protection.

Wear eye protection.

Do not expose the product to rain or damp 

condition.
