of power tool may create a risk of fire when
used with another power tool.
■Use the blower only with the integrated bat‐
tery. Use of any other battery may create a
risk of fire or explosion and personal injury or
property damage.
■When the power tool is not in use, make sure
that paper clips, coins, keys, nails and other
similar metal objects are not stored near the
blower's charging socket, activation key socket
or other openings. Short circuiting the blower's
battery or charging system may cause burns
or a fire or explosion.
■Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejec‐
ted 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 irri‐
tation, chemical burns or respiratory illness
from inhalation.
■Do not use a blower that is damaged or modi‐
fied. A damaged or modified blower or integra‐
ted battery may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion and risk of injury or
property damage.
■ Do not expose the blower or its integrated bat‐
tery to fire or excessive temperature. Expo‐
sure to fire or temperatures above 212 °F
(100 °C) may cause fire and explosion.
■Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the integrated battery outside of the
ambient temperature range specified. Charg‐
ing improperly or outside the specified range
