Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1 when operating this product.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Battery blowers do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operat-
ing 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.
Do not place battery powered blowers or their batter-
ies near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion
and possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Don’t expose blowers to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a blower will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves. Avoid loose garments or jewelry that could get
caught in moving parts of the machine or its motor.
Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve
your footing on slippery surfaces.
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
Do not charge blower battery in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Check the work area before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or
string which can be thrown or become entangled in the
machine.
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of
people or pets.
Never run the unit without the proper equipment at-
tached. Always ensure the blower tubes are installed.
When not in use, blower should be stored indoors in
a dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft.
away.
For best results, your blower battery should be
charged in a location where the temperature is more
than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or
in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for
at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical at-
tention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Do not incinerate this blower even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
Blower service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a blower, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance sec-
tion of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
Never use blower near fires or hot ashes. Use near
fires or ashes can spread fires and result in serious injury
and/or property damage.
Never use blower to spread chemicals, fertilizers,
or any other toxic substances. Spreading these sub-
stances could result in serious injury to the operator or
bystanders.
