PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: This product can expose you
to chemicals including lead and
Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to www.

FOR ALL BATTERY –
OPERATED GARDENING
APPLIANCES:
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the appliance.
Carrying the appliance with your finger on the
switch or energizing appliance that have the
switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliance. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
3. 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.
4. Use appliances only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to

3
Cordless Blower/Vac/Mulcher EN
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130°C ( 265°F) may cause
explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or appliance outside
of the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance
or the battery pack (as applicable) except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
