GENERAL SAFETY RULES
■ Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
■ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
drawn into air vents.
■ Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the blower in unexpected situations.
■ Do not use blower if switch does not turn it on or off. A blower that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
■ For residential use only.
■ Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the blower accidentally.
■ 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.
■ Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the blower's operation. If damaged, have the blower serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained blowers.
■ Keep the blower and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents
to clean your blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of
the enclosure plastic.
■ 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
protection when operating this equipment.
■ Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
■ Battery blowers do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operation condition. Beware 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 batteries near fire or heat. Do not dispose of the
battery in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
■ Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage the 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.
■ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
■ Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don't use tool in damp or wet locations. Don't use in rain.
■ 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 footing on slippery surfaces.
■ Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk
