WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
•
Blowers have motors and other parts that can
produce sparks during normal use.
Do not use
within 30 feet of areas where explosive materials
may be present (such as gasoline pumps and places
where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners, solvents,
etc. are stored).
•
Do not use in the presence of explosive dust,
liquids or vapors.
•
Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are used.
•
Do not allow to be used as a toy.
Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children.
•
Use extra care when using on stairs.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Do not handle battery pack or blower with wet
hands.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
STAY ALERT.
Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use blower when you are
tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
•
The operation of a blower can result in foreign
objects being blown into eyes,
which can result
in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields when operating blower.
•
Wear a dust mask or use an OSHA compliant
blower solution
when working in dusty situations.
Dust particles can harm your lungs
.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack in blower that has the switch
on invites accidents.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal
-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the
blower in unexpected situations.
•
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
•
Use only as described in this manual.
Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• 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.
BLOWER USE AND CARE
•
To reduce the risk of health hazards from other
vapors or dust, do not blow carcinogenic, toxic
or hazardous materials
such as asbestos, arsenic,
barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health
endangered materials.
•
Do not leave blower unattended when battery
pack is installed.
Remove battery pack when not
in use and before servicing.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing ac
-
cessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the ap-
pliance accidentally.
•
Do not put any object into openings.
Do not use
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything else that may reduce air flow.
•
Maintain blower. 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 repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
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; avoid contact. If contact ac
-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam
-
aged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or tem
-
perature above 265°F (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 and increase the risk
of fire.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance
or the battery pack (as applicable) except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
BLOWER
• Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, when working
in dusty situations, wear appropriate respira-
tory protection or use an OSHA compliant dust
extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools.
It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
•
WARNING
Some dust created by
power sanding, saw-
ing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
