PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING: Read all
safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future
reference.
The appliance is only to be
used with the power supply unit
provided with the appliance.
GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1)Work area safety
a)Keep work area clean and
well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b)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.
c)Keep children and
bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2)Electrical safety
a)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.
b)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.
c)Do not expose power tools
to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d)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

20V Cordless Blower
WG543E WG543E.X
32
entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e)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.
f) If operating a power
tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a
residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3)Personal safety
a)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
or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating
power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b)Use personal protective
equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c)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 energising
power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d)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.
e)Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and
balance at all times. This
enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected
situations.
f)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.
g)If devices are provided

54
20V Cordless Blower
WG543E WG543E.X
for the connection of dust
extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly
used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4)Power tool use and care
a)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.
b)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.
c)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.
d)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.
e)Maintain power tools.
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.
f)Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g)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.
5)Battery tool use and care
a)Recharge only with the

20V Cordless Blower
WG543E WG543E.X
54
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.
b)Use power tools only with
specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c)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.
d)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.
6)Service
a)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.
