IMPORTANT SAfETy INSTRUCTIONS
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. (This advice is considered correct
for conventional NiMh, NiCd, lead acid and lithium-ion cell types. If this advice is incorrect
for a cell design that differs from these, then the correct advice may be substituted.)
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion. The temperature of 130°C can be
replaced by the temperature of 265°F.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this blower. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the blower off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the blower.
