■ Do not operate the product in poor lighting. The
operator requires a clear view of the work area to
identify potential hazards.
■ Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay
extra attention to what is going on in the work area.
■ Do not get distracted, and always concentrate on the
task.
■ Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk
of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your work area.
■ Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
■ Always be sure of the footing on slopes. Walk, never
run.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from any moving
part. Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury.
Stop the machine and ensure that impeller blades have
stopped rotating before:
● opening the fan guard
● installing, changing, or unblocking tubes
● opening, removing, or emptying the debris collector
■ Never run the product without the proper equipment
attached. When used as a blower, always install the
blower tubes and close the fan guard. When used as
a vacuum, always install both of the vacuum tubes and
debris collector bag.
■ Do not modify the product in any way or use parts
and accessories that are not recommended by the
manufacturer.
WARNING
If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact or begins
to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and
inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorised service centre.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
rotating parts, always stop the machine, remove the battery
pack, and make sure all moving parts have stopped:
● before cleaning or clearing a blockage
● when leaving the product unattended
● before installing or removing attachments
● before checking, maintaining or working on the
product
● if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (inspect
immediately)
SPECIFIC BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
■ In blower mode, use the product with the vacuum tubes
fitted, or you may choose to remove them and close
the fan guard. You must never separate the vacuum
tubes and operate with only the upper tube fitted. These
tubes are designed to be a one-time fit. If you attempt
to separate the fitted vacuum tubes, the tubes will be
damaged. This significantly increases the potential for
serious injury by contact with the rotating fan.
■ Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce
the risk of injury associated with the inhalation of dust.
■ Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.
■ Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people
or pets.
■ Never place objects inside the blower tubes.
■ Do not operate the product near open windows.
■ Use the full blower nozzle extension so that the air
stream can work close to the ground and perform
effectively.
■ Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris.
Debris can be sucked into the intake vent, resulting in
possible damage to the product.
SPECIFIC VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Never operate the vacuum with only the upper vacuum
tube fitted. Failure to follow this warning increases the
risk of personal injury.
■ Do not operate the vacuum without the debris collector
bag assembly installed; flying debris could cause
serious injury. Make sure that the debris collector bag
is in good condition and completely closed before
operating.
■ Move the vacuum from side to side along the outer
edge of debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the
vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.
■ Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of the vacuum
tube.
■ Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on
a hillside.
■ To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage to the
product, do not try to vacuum up rocks, broken glass,
bottles, or similar objects.
■ Avoid situations that could cause fire in the debris
collector bag. Do not operate near an open flame. Do
not vacuum up warm ash from fireplaces and barbecue
pits. Do not vacuum up discarded cigars or cigarettes
unless the cinders are completely cool.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■ Stop the product, remove the battery, and allow it to
cool before storing or transporting.
■ Clean all foreign materials from the product. Store the
product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place that
is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive
agents, such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
Do not store outdoors.
■ For transportation in vehicles, secure the product
against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons
or damage to the product.
