◾
Battery powered blowers do not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they
are always in operating condition. Be aware of
possible hazards when not using your battery
powered blower or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Wear heavy long trousers, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves.

or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of an open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with
water immediately.
