commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
fuels,
petroleum
based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and could result

stORING tHE BlOWER
Clean the blower thoroughly before storing. Store the
blower in a dry, well-ventilated place that is inaccessible
to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait
for battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your unit for long periods of time without using
it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This
practice will prolong battery pack life.
cAutION
When placing battery pack in the blower, be sure the
raised ribs on the battery pack align with the grooves
in the top of the blower. Make sure the battery is fully
seated, and it latches into place properly. Improper
installation of the battery pack can cause damage to
internal components.

OPERAtING tHE BlOWER
See Figure 5.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the
center of a pile.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces
when water is available.
Conserve water by using power blowers instead
of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches, and gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
