VIBRATION INFORMATION
Typical weighted vibration ah<2.5 m/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 is cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and 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.
Help to minimize 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 10°C or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

pack.
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

manual
WARNING!The charger and battery
pack are specially designed to work
together, so do not attempt to use any
other devices. Never insert or allow metallic

connections because of an electrical failure
and hazard will occur.
BEFORE USINGYOUR CORDLESS BLOWER
Your battery pack is UNCHARGED, you must
charge before use.
See
Fig. E
Battery status LED’S
NOTE:The Status LED’s will indicate the
battery condition when the button on the
battery is pressed.
The LED’s constantly senses and displays
the battery condition as follows:
Press the button “POWERTEST”, the light
button is illuminated.
When the three green lights are illuminated,
the battery is in a highly charged condition.
When two lights ( ) are illuminated,
the battery is in a moderately charged
condition.
When only one green light ( ) is
illuminated, the battery charge is depleted.
IMPORTANT! When only one light is
illuminated, your battery is overly
discharged, even though the blower
may still be capable of blowing debris.
Continuing to operate your blower
with the battery in this discharged
condition may reduce the life and
performance of your battery.
