IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS BLOWER. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Do not leave blower unattended or running when
turned on.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one blower may create a risk of injury when
used on another blower.
Do not handle plug or blower with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before removing battery.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not operate blowers in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Blowers create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a blower. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
A battery operated blower with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated blower only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
Use battery only with charger listed.
Do not operate blower with a damaged cord or plug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized
serviceman.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power blower. Do
not use blower while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating blowers may result in serious personal
injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked
or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying
blowers with your finger on the switch or inserting the bat-
tery pack into a blower with the switch on invites accidents.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
blower in unexpected situations.
Do not use blower if switch does not turn it on or off.
A blower that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from blower or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the blower. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the blower accidentally.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the blower’s operation. If damaged, have the
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.

Know your power blower. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear safety glasses with side shie lds.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of eye injury.
Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1 when operating this product.
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 operat-
ing 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 batter-
ies 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, 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 vent hydrogen gas and 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not charge blower battery in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
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 ma-
chine.
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of
people or pets.
Never run the unit without the proper equipment at-
tached. 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.
For best results, your blower 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 at-
tention. 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 replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance sec-
tion of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
