instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire,
and/or serious personal injury.
DAMAGE PREVENTION AND INFORMATION MESSAGES
These inform the user of important information and/or
instructions that could lead to equipment or other property
damage if they are not followed. Each message is
preceded by the word “NOTICE”, as in the example below:
NOTICE: Equipment and/or property damage may result if
these instructions are not followed.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS,
INSTRUCTIONS, ILLUSTRATIONS AND
SPECIFICATIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS POWER
TOOL. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
◾Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
◾Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
◾Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
◾Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
◾Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
◾Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
◾Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
◾When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
◾If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a Ground-fault circuit interrupter
protected supply. Use of GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
◾Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
◾Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
◾Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
◾Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
◾Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
◾Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
◾If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
◾Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury with a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
◾Do not force the power tool. 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.

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION COMMERCIAL CORDLESS BACKPACK BLOWER — LBPX8000 9
◾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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tools 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.
◾Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
◾Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
◾Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
◾Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
SERVICE
◾Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
◾Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
