Keep the handles dry and clean.
Consider work area environment. Do not expose
power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area lit. Do not use power
tools where there is risk to cause fire or explosion.
Store battery or idle tools. When not in use, tools and
batteries should be stored separately in dry, high or
locked up areas out of reach of children. Ensure that
battery terminals cannot be shorted by other metal
parts such as screws, nails, etc.
Disconnect the tool from its battery pack when not in
use, disconnecting the blower tube before service.
Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool with
a finger on the switch.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool
is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons
using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user.

Use only the manufacturer’s replacement parts. Failure
to do so may cause poor performance, possible injury
and may void your warranty.

Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
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, seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches, and gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
