AXIAL FAN BLOWER  - OWNER'S MANUAL

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current 

device (RCD) protected supply.

 Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces 

the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a 

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence 

of drugs, alcohol or medication. 

A moment of inattention while operating power 

tools may result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Protective 

equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used 

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before 

connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the 

switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal 

injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

This enables 

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair 

can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection 

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. 

Use of dust collection 

can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 

designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

 Any power 

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the 

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing 

power tools. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool 

accidentally.
