Do not place battery tools or their batteries near re or heat.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Never use a battery 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.
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 ame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush
with water immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not expose the product to rain. Water entering the product will
increase the risk of electric shock or malfunction.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a
location where the temperature is more than 10°C (50°F) but
less than 38°C (100°F). Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin,
wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with
lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, ush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate
medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Keep the product dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged.
The batteries can explode in a re.
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not use this
portable fan with any solid-state speed control device.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to
instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also to prevent misuse of the product

BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance
of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine
(risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being
overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the
battery electronics switch off the machine automatically. To restart,
switch the machine off and then on again. If the machine does not
start up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In
this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
