Extension Cords
If an extension cord is used, the cross sectional
area of its conductors must meet the following
minimum requirements – depending on the line
voltage and length of the extension cord:
If rated voltage on the rating label is 220V to
240V:
– Cord length up to 20 m: AWG 15 / 1.5 mm²
– Cord length 20 m up to 50 m: AWG 13 /
2.5 mm²
If rated voltage on the rating label is 100V to
127V:
– Cord length up to 10 m: AWG 14 / 2.0 mm²
– Cord length 10 m up to 30 m: AWG 12 /
3.5 mm²

WARNING
■ The battery is not protected against all ambi‐
ent conditions. If the battery is exposed to cer‐
tain environmental conditions, it may catch fire
or explode. This may result in serious injury to
people and damage to property.
► Do not charge the battery below -20°C or
above 50°C.
► Do not use the blower, battery or charger
below -20°C or above +50°C.
► Do not store the blower, battery or charger
below -20°C or above +70°C.

Recommended temperature
ranges
For optimum performance of the blower, battery
and charger, observe the following temperature
ranges:
– Charging: 5°C to 40°C
– Use: - 10 °C to + 40 °C
– Storage: - 20 °C to + 50 °C
If the battery is charged, used or stored outside
the recommended temperature ranges, perform‐
ance may be reduced.
If the battery is wet or moist, allow the battery to
dry for at least 48 h between 15°C and 50°C and
with less than 70% humidity. Higher humidity
may extend the drying time.

Sound Values and Vibration
Values
The K-value for sound pressure levels is 2 dB(A).
The K-value for sound power levels is 2 dB(A).
K-value for vibration level is 2 m/s².
– Sound pressure level L
to EN 50636-2-100: 76 dB(A).
– Sound power level L
in EN 50636-2-100: 89 dB(A).
– Vibration level a
measured according to
hv
EN 50636-2-100, control handle: < 1.2 m/s².
The vibration levels indicated were measured
according to a standardized test method and can
be used as a basis for comparing electric power
tools. The vibration levels actually occurring may
vary from the values indicated, depending on the
type of application. The vibration levels indicated
can be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
stress. The actual vibration stress has to be esti‐
mated. The times when the electric power tool is
switched off and the times when it is switched on
but running under no load can be taken into
account in the estimate.
