your finger on the trigger switch or inserting the activation
key with the trigger switch engaged increases the
likelihood of unintended starting and possible accidents.
￭ Remove the activation key from the blower before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
blower accidentally.
￭ Recharge only with the charger specified by STIHL. A
charger that is suitable for one type of power tool may
create a risk of fire when used with another power tool.
￭ Use the blower only with the integrated battery. Use of any
other battery may create a risk of fire or explosion and
personal injury or property damage.
￭ When the power tool is not in use, make sure that paper
clips, coins, keys, nails and other similar metal objects are
not stored near the blower's charging socket, activation
key socket or other openings. Short circuiting the blower's
battery or charging system may cause burns or a fire or
explosion.
￭ 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, chemical burns or respiratory illness from
inhalation.
￭ Do not use a blower that is damaged or modified. A
damaged or modified blower or integrated battery may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion
and risk of injury or property damage.
￭ Do not expose the blower or its integrated battery to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 212 °F (100 °C) may cause fire and explosion.
￭ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
integrated battery outside of the ambient temperature
range specified. Charging improperly or outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
