Page: 18 / 24

Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as

rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be blown a

considerable distance by high velocity air.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A

charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a

risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire

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 burns

or a fire.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery

pack; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.

If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected

from the battery pack may cause irritation or burns.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.

Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour

resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive

temperatures. Exposure to fire or excessive temperature above

130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack

or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range

may damage the battery pack and increase the risk of fire.

OPERATION

Operate the product only at reasonable hours – not early in the

morning or late at night when people might be disturbed.
Never operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.
Avoid using the product in bad weather conditions especially when

there is a risk of lightning.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear view

of the work area to identify potential hazards.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings

(shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is

going on in the working area.
Do not get distracted and always concentrate on your task.
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing

injury and the potential for other persons to enter your working area.

Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can

result in loss of balance.
Always be sure of the footing on slopes. Walk, never run.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part. Rotating

impeller blades can cause severe injury.
Never run the product without the proper equipment attached.
Do not operate the product without both the nozzle and lower tube

attached.
Do not modify the product in any way or use parts and accessories

that are not recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING!

If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact,

or begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product

and inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration. Any

damage should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised

service centre.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts,

always stop the product and remove the battery pack. Make sure all

moving parts have come to a complete stop:

■

before leaving the product unattended

■

before clearing blockages

■

before checking, cleaning, or working on the product.

■

to inspect the product after striking a foreign object.

Immediately switch off and remove the battery pack in the event of

accident or breakdown. Do not operate the product again until it has

been fully checked by an authorised service centre.

The product is provided with a cruise control lever near the

trigger

. Cruise control sets the speed at a convenient level to

provide enough power to achieve the task. Low running speed

will help reduce noise and vibration. Cruise control helps reduce

operator fatigue.

Press the turbo boost to increase the air flow to the maximum

velocity. The turbo boost will override the cruise control feature. The

blower will return to the previously selected speed when the button

is released.

WARNING! Setting the cruise control will operate and lock

the trigger.

In this case, the trigger will not release and turn off the

blower. Turn off the cruise control by pressing the lever fully forward

to stop the motor of the blower.

BLOWER SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce the risk of

injury associated with the inhalation of dust.
Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or pets.
Never place objects inside the blower tubes.
Do not operate the product near open windows.
Use the full blower nozzle extension so that the air stream can work

close to the ground and perform effectively.
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris. Debris can be

sucked into the intake vent, resulting in possible damage to the

product.

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.
