OPERATING THE BLOWER

See Figure 5.

nTo keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of a pile.

nTo reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equip- ment used at any one time.

nUse rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available.

nConserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

nWatch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.

nAfter using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris properly.

WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, switch should always be in the OFF position when not in

use or carrying at your side.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product

damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust.

If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the product when cleaning or performing

any maintenance.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths

to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
