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 protection
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
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.
 Do not place battery powered blowers or their
batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly injury.
 Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F may cause explosion.
 Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance where the temperature is
less than 50°F or more than 100°F. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
 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.
 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.
