◾ ◾
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 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.
◾ ◾
Always take care of your feet, children, or pets around you when removing the
battery pack from blower. Serious injury could result if the battery pack
falls. NEVER remove the battery pack when in a high position.
◾ ◾
Do not use the 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.
◾ ◾
Disconnect the battery pack from the blower before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the blower. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the blower accidentally.
◾ ◾
Turn off all controls before removing the battery.
◾ ◾
DO NOT attempt to clear clogs from the unit without first removing the battery.
◾ ◾
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.
◾ ◾
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 powered blowers do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating 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.
