are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of eye injury.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing protection
when operating this equipment.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
rotating parts, stop the motor before installing or
removing attachments. Do not operate without all
guard(s) and tubes in place. Always remove the battery
pack before performing maintenance or accessing any
movable parts.
 Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury. Do
not put hands or any other object into the blower housing
air outlet or blower tubes.
 Battery blowers 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 powered blower or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact 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 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 265°F may cause explosion.
 Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
 Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack except as indicated in the instructions
for use and care.
 Do not place battery powered blowers or their batteries
near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion
and possibly injury.
 Don't expose blowers to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a blower will increase the risk of electric shock.
