READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
 Lead from lead-based paints,
 Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
 Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT!
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a
qualied service technician.
WARNING: To reduce risk of re, electric shock, or injury:
 Know your power blower. Read the instruction manual carefully. Learn
the blower’s applications and limitations, as well as the specic potential
hazards related to this blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, re, or serious injury.
 Do not allow the blower to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB5300/LB5300-FC 7
 Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended attachments.
 If the blower is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
 Do not handle the charger, including charger plug, or charger terminals
with wet hands.
 Do not put any object into any openings. Do not use with any opening
blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may
reduce air ow.
 Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air
vents.
 Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving
parts.
 Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
 Do not charge the battery pack outdoors.
 Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.
 Do not leave blower unattended when the battery is inserted. Remove the
battery when the blower is not in use and before servicing.
 Do not operate blowers in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Blowers create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
 Use the battery operated blower only with specically designated battery
pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of re.
 Use only with battery packs and chargers listed below.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB5300/LB5300-FC8
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power blower. Do not use the blower while tired, upset, or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating blowers may result in serious personal injury.
 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure that the switch is in the locked or off
position before inserting the battery pack. Carrying blowers with your nger
on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a blower with the switch on invites
accidents.
 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 use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable support. Stable footing
on a solid surface enables better control of the blower in unexpected situations.
 Always take care of your feet, children, or pets around you when removing the
battery pack from blower. Serious injury could result if the battery pack falls.
NEVER remove the battery pack when in a high position.
 Do not use the blower if switch does not turn it on or off. A blower that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the battery pack from the blower before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the blower. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the blower accidentally.
 Turn off all controls before removing the battery.
 DO NOT attempt to clear clogs from the unit without rst removing the battery.
 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the blower’s operation. If damaged,
have the blower serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained blowers.
 Keep the blower and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always
use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your blower. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
 Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB5300/LB5300-FC 9
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1 along with hearing protection when operating this equipment.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Battery powered blowers do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of
possible hazards when not using your battery powered blower or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
re, or serious personal injury.
 Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves and boots. Avoid loose garments or
jewelry that could get caught in moving parts of the machine or its motor.
 Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when wearing sandals or
similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your
feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
 Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely damaged. The batteries
can explode in a re.
 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.
 Keep rm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in
loss of balance.
 Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown by or become entangled
in the machine.
 Do not point the blower tube in the direction of people or pets.
 Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. Always ensure
that the blower tube is installed.
 When not in use, the blower should be stored indoors in a dry, secure place
out of the reach of children.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB5300/LB5300-FC10
 Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
 Blower service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel may result in a risk of
injury.
 When servicing a blower, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
 Never use the blower near res or hot ashes. Use near res or ashes can
spread res and result in serious injury and/or property damage.
 Never use blower to spread chemicals, fertilizers, or any other toxic
substances. Spreading these substances could result in serious injury to the
operator or bystanders.
 Never place the blower on any surface, except a hard, clean surface when
the engine is running. Gravel, sand, and other debris can be picked up by the air
inlet and thrown at the operator or bystanders, causing possible serious injuries.
 Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature.
Exposure to re or temperature above 212 °F (100°C) may cause explosion.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If you loan this tool to someone else, also loan these
instructions to them to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
