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.

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.

your footing on slippery surfaces.
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 open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.

or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack except as indicated in the instructions
for use and care.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-
tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If
