► Use an inert absorbent such as sand on
spilled battery fluid.
► In the event of accidental contact, immedi‐
ately rinse the contact area thoroughly with
mild soap and water.
► If fluid gets into your eye(s): Do not rub.
Rinse water over the open eye(s) for at
least 15 minutes and seek medical atten‐
tion.
■ A battery fire can be dangerous. To reduce the
risk of severe personal injury and property
damage in the event of fire:
► Evacuate the area. Fire can spread rapidly.
Stay clear of any vapors generated and
maintain a safe distance.
► Contact the fire department.
► Although water can be used to put out a
battery fire, use of a multi-purpose dry
chemical fire extinguisher is preferable.
► Consult the fire department regarding
proper disposal of a burned battery.
■ Dropping the battery could result in personal
injury or property damage. To prevent the bat‐
tery from falling during removal:
► Place the blower on a level surface.
► Position your hand behind the battery while
pressing the locking lever. Use care when
ejecting the battery.

► If storing the battery in the charger, discon‐
nect the charger from the outlet.
► Operate the charger only indoors, in dry
rooms.
► Operate the charger only within the speci‐
fied ambient temperature limits,
► Keep the charger out of the reach of chil‐
dren.
► Always plug the charger into a properly
installed electrical outlet matching the volt‐
age and electrical frequency stated on the
charger.
► If too many devices are connected to a
power strip, electrical components can be
overloaded during charging, leading to
overheating and fire. If using a power strip,
never exceed its total capacity.
► Do not operate a charger that has received
a sharp or heavy blow, has been dropped
or is otherwise damaged in any way.
► Do not attempt to repair, open or disassem‐
ble the charger. There are no user-service‐
able parts inside.
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire from
a short circuit:
► Make sure the battery and charger are
completely dry before starting the charging
process.
► Never bridge the contacts of the charger
with wires or other metallic objects.
► Do not insert any objects into the charger's
cooling slots.
■ The charger heats up during the charging
process. To reduce the risk of fire:
► Do not operate on a combustible surface
(e.g., paper, cardboard, textiles) or in a
combustible environment.
► Allow the charger to cool down normally.
Do not cover it.
■ Chargers can produce sparks which may
ignite combustible gases, liquids, vapors,
dusts or other combustible materials. To
reduce the risk of fire and explosion:
► Do not operate in a location where combus‐
tible gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other
combustible materials are present.
■ Using a damaged power supply cord or plug
may result in fire, electric shock and other per‐
sonal injury or property damage. To reduce
these risks:
► Check the charger's power supply
cord and plug regularly for damage.
If damaged, immediately disconnect
the plug from the electrical outlet.
