Whenusinganelectricalappliance,basicprecautionsshould
alwaysbefollowed,includingthefollowing:
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS BLOWER. Toreducetherisk
ofelectricshock,fireand/orseriouspersonalinjury.
Know your power blower. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
blower. Followingthisrulewillreducetheriskofelectric
shock,fire,orseriousinjury.
Do not permit children to use blower.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 may
createariskofinjurywhenusedonanotherblower.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 blowers in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust.Blowers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. Distractions can cause
youtolosecontrol.
A battery operated blower with integral batteries 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 only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
createariskoffire.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers
listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correla-
tion supplement 995000885.
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock.Ifdam-
aged,havethechargerreplacedbyanauthorizedservice
center.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack except as indicated in the instructions
for use and care.
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 power blower. Do
not use blower while tired, upset, or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.Amomentof
inattention while operating blowers may result in serious
personalinjury.
Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent en-
tanglement in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying blowers with your finger on the switch or in-
serting 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 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inunexpectedsituations.
Do not use 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 battery pack from blower or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the blower.Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreducethe
riskofstartingtheblower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’s operation. If damaged, have the
blower serviced before using. Many accidents are
causedbypoorlymaintainedblowers.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3 – English
Keep the blower and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
