Power tool use and care:
Do not overload the machine. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care:
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
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 burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
General safety instructions:
Switch the unit off and remove the battery under the following conditions:
– if the machine is left unattended;
– before checking, cleaning or performing other work on the machine;
– if the machine starts vibrating excessively.
Use the unit only in daylight or in good artificial lighting.
Before starting work, familiarise yourself with the blower and its functions as well as its controls.
Inspect the unit before switching it on and check for signs of wear and damage if it strikes an
object.
Do not use a unit which has a defective switch and can no longer be switched on or off.
Do not wear any jewellery or loose clothing which could be caught by the blower unit. Keep long
hair away from the intake openings.
Check the terrain on which the unit will be used and remove any stones and pieces of wire, which
could be picked up by the blower, to avoid endangering people.
Do not switch on the unit if there are persons (particularly children) or animals in the immediate
vicinity. Ensure that children do not play with the unit.
Interrupt blowing if you notice that persons (particularly children) or pets are nearby.
Do not blow any debris towards people.
Avoid an abnormal body posture. Ensure that you have a firm footing and always keep your
balance. You can then better control the blower unit in unexpected situations and particularly on
sloping areas.
Do not work with the blower in a potentially explosive environment in which there are flammable
liquids, gases or dust. The blower may generate sparks which could ignite the dust or the vapours.
