BEFORE USING THIS BLOWER/VACUUM.
To reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
Know your blower/vacuum. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
blower/vacuum.
Following this rule will reduce the risk
of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Do not permit children to use blower/vacuum.
It is
not a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near
children.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model described in this manual.
Accessories that may be suitable for one blower/vacuum
may create a risk of injury when used on another blower/
vacuum. Use only as described in this manual.
Do not handle charger, including charger plug, and
charger terminals with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
Do not charge the unit outdoors.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before removing battery.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs or steps.
Do not operate blower/vacuums in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust.
Blower/vacuums create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at least 50 ft.
away while operating a blower/vacuum.
Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
A battery operated blower/vacuum with integral bat-
teries or a separate battery pack must be recharged
only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated blower/vacuum only with spe-
cifically designated battery pack.
Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed
in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432.
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock
. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized
service center.
If appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to a service center.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a blower/vacuum. Do
not use blower/vacuum while tired, upset, or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A mo-
ment of inattention while operating blower/vacuums may
result in serious personal injury.
Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent en-
tanglement in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure dial is in the off
position before inserting battery pack.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable
support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the blower/vacuum in unexpected situations.
Do not use blower/vacuum if dial does not turn it on
or off.
A blower/vacuum that cannot be controlled with
the dial is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from blower/vacuum or place
the dial in the off position before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing the blower/
vacuum.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the blower/vacuum accidentally.
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 sparks, burns,
or a fire.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the blower/vacuum’s operation. If damaged,
have the blower/vacuum serviced before using.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained blower/
vacuums.
