VIBRATION INFORMATION
Typical weighted vibration ah< 2.5m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration total value may be used for
comparing one tool with another, and may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission value
during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared value depending on the ways in
which the tool is used dependant on the following
examples and other variations on how the tool is
used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or
drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
Using the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring
it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any
anti vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design
and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed
WARNING:To be accurate, an estimation of
exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle but not actually doing the
job.This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these
instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate)
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 100C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration
tool use across a number of days.

Cordless Li-Ion Blower/Sweeper
WG546E WG546E.1 WG546E.2 WG546E.9
fasteners are secure, the
housing is undamaged and
that guards and screens are
in place. Replace worn or
damaged components in sets
to preserve balance. Replace
damaged or unreadable labels.
3) OPERATION
a) Before starting the machine,
make certain that the feeding
chamber is empty.

b) Do not short-circuit a
battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly
in a box or drawer where
they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited
by conductive materials.
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.
c) Do not expose battery
pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery
pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery
leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact
with the skin or eyes. If
contact has been made,
wash the affected area with
copious amounts of water
and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice
immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been
swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean
and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack
terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be
charged before use. Always
refer to this instruction and
use the correct charging
procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery
pack on charge when not in
use.

k) After extended periods
of storage, it may be
necessary to charge and
discharge the battery pack
several times to obtain
maximum performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best
performance when it is
operated at normal room
temperature (20°C ± 5°C).
m)When disposing of battery
packs, keep battery packs
of different electrochemical
systems separate from
each other.
n) Recharge only with the
charger specified by
WORX. Do not use any
charger other than that
specifically provided for
use with the equipment. A
charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
o) Do not use any battery
pack which is not designed
