IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing protec- tion when operating this equipment.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Battery blowers do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operat- ing condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery powered blower or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery powered blowers or their batter- ies near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.

Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

Don’t expose blowers to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a blower will increase the risk of electric shock.

Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. Avoid loose garments or jewelry that could get caught in moving parts of the machine or its motor.

Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

Do not charge blower battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.

Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the

machine­ .

Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or pets.

Never run the unit without the proper equipment at- tached. Always ensure the blower tubes are installed.

When not in use, blower should be stored indoors in a dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children.

Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.

For best results, your blower battery should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat- tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of seri- ous personal injury.

Do not incinerate this blower even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.

Blower service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a blower, use only identical replace- ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance sec- tion of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

Never use blower near fires or hot ashes. Use near fires or ashes can spread fires and result in serious injury and/or property damage.

Never use blower to spread chemicals, fertilizers, or any other toxic substances. Spreading these sub- stances could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

Never place blower on any surface, except a hard, clean surface when engine is running. Gravel, sand, and other debris can be picked up by the air inlet and thrown at the operator or bystanders, causing possible serious injuries.
