does not get hot or humid.
10. When carrying the machine, be sure to hold
the machine firmly by holding the handle of
machine.
11.
When carrying the machine, be careful not to
get the cord caught by obstacles.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
1.
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.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
5.
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
7.
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Electrical and battery safety
1.
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
2.
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
3.
Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
4.
Do not charge the battery outdoors.
5.
Do not handle charger, including charger plug,
and charger terminals with wet hands.
Do not replace the battery with wet hands.
6.
7.
Do not replace the battery in the rain.
8.
Do not wet the terminal of battery with liquid
such as water, or submerge the battery. Do not
leave the battery in the rain, nor charge, use,
or store the battery in a damp or wet place. If
the terminal gets wet or liquid enters inside of bat-
tery, the battery may be short circuited and there is
a risk of overheat, fire, or explosion.
After removing the battery from the machine or
9.
charger, be sure to store it in a dry place.
10. If the battery cartridge gets wet, drain the
water inside and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Dry the battery cartridge completely in a dry
place before use.
Service
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Additional Safety Instructions
1.
Do not use the machine in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of light-
ning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
2.
Before use, check the supply cord and any
extension cord for signs of damage or aging.
Do not touch the cord before disconnecting
the supply. Do not use the machine if the cord
is damaged or worn. A damaged supply cord
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Wear eye protection and ear protection.
3.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce the risk
of personal injury.
While operating the machine, always wear
4.
non-slip and protective footwear. Do not oper-
ate the machine when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. This reduces the risk of injury to
the feet.
5.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or articles
such as scarves, strings, chains, ties, etc., that
could get drawn into the air inlets. Tie back or
cover long hair to make sure it does not get
drawn into the air inlets. If any of these items are
drawn into the air inlets, it can increase the risk of
personal injury.
6.
Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine. Thrown debris can increase the risk of
personal injury.
7.
Never point the blower nozzle in the direction
of people or pets or in the direction of win-
dows. Use extra caution when blowing debris
near solid objects, such as trees, automobiles
and walls that can cause debris to ricochet.
Thrown objects can damage property and
increase the risk of personal injury.
8.
Do not use the machine to blow anything that
is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes. These ignition sources
may increase the risk of fire.
9.
Do not touch the fan while still in motion. Turn
off the machine, wait until the fan stops and
unplug the machine, before removing any part
that may give access to the fan. This reduces
the risk of injury from moving parts.
10. When clearing jammed material or servicing
the machine, make sure the power switch
is off and the power cord is disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the machine while clear-
ing jammed material or servicing may increase the
risk of personal injury.
