PORTABLE FAN SAFETY WARNINGS

 Know your portable fan. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
portable fan. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Battery tools 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 tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
 Do not place portable fans or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
 Do not charge portable fan battery in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
 For best results, your battery should be charged in a
location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,

then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for
at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
 Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use
this portable fan with any solid-state speed control
device.
 Not for use in kitchens, bathrooms or other places
where water may be present.
 For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
 Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. A
wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
 To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric shock,
the portable fan should not be played with or placed
where small children can reach it.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
water or rain.
 Never attempt to power the device with a battery pack
and extension cord at the same time.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
