POWERPLUS 20V LEAF BLOWER
(SKIN ONLY)
CT20VLFBLWA


Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders and children away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of the device.
Electrical safety
1. 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 the risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use to reduce the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply to reduce the risk of electric shock.
SAFETY & WARNINGS

Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
5. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. The enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
7. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards
agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye
protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-
approved for the specific hazards in the work area.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
2. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain tools with care. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used
on another tool.

Battery use and care
1. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting
the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
2. 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.
3. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
4. When the 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.
5. If the appliance is misused or damaged, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, seek medical help as well. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
6. If the battery is damaged, vapours may be emitted which can irritate the
respiratory system. Provide fresh air and seek medical help in case of inhalation.
7. Do not open the battery. Keep the battery away from sources of heat, such as fire
or continuous direct sunlight, to avoid the danger of explosion.
