blower serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained blowers.
Keep the blower and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce
theriskofeyeinjury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.
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.
Do not place battery powered blowers 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.
Don’t expose blowers to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a blower will increase the risk of electric shock.
Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves.Avoidloosegarmentsorjewelrythatcouldget
caughtinmovingpartsofthemachineoritsmotor.
Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protectivefootwearthatwillprotectyourfeetandimprove
your footing on slippery surfaces.
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.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreachingcanresultinlossofbalance.
Check the work area before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or
string which can be thrown or become entangled in the
machine.
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of
people or pets.
Never run the unit without the proper equipment
attached. Always ensure the blower tubes are installed.
When not in use, blower should be stored indoors in
a dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft.
away.
 Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack except as indicated in the instructions
for use and care.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
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 this blower even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
Blower service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.Serviceormaintenanceperformedby
unqualifiedpersonnelmayresultinariskofinjury.
When servicing a blower, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
thismanual.Useofunauthorizedpartsorfailuretofollow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or
injury.
Never use blower near fires or hot ashes. Use near
firesorashescanspreadfiresandresultinseriousinjury
and/orpropertydamage.
Never use blower to spread chemicals, fertilizers,
or any other toxic substances. Spreading these
substancescouldresultinseriousinjurytotheoperator
or bystanders.
Never place blower on any surface, except a hard,
clean surface when engine is running. Gravel,sand,
and other debris can be picked up by the air inlet and
thrown at the operator or bystanders, causing possible
seriousinjuries.
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 50 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.Check
connectionsregularlyduringuse.Poorconnectionscan
resultinfireorseriousinjury.
