IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
personal injury:
■ Know your blower. Read operator’s
manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations, as well as the specic potential
hazards related to this blower. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, re,
or serious 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 battery 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 ow.
■ Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and
all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
■ Turn off all controls before removing
battery.
■ Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance
for any job except that for which it is intended.
■ Don’t Force Appliance - It will do the job
better and with less likelihood of a risk of
injury at the rate for which it was designed.
■ Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
■ Do not operate blowers in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable 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 Children Away - All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
■ A battery operated blower with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specied charger for
the battery. A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of re
when used with another battery.
■ Use only the following type and size
battery: Craftsman 71.98833 & 71.98838.
Use of any other batteries may create a risk
of re.
■ Do not operate charger with a damaged
cord or plug, which could cause shorting
and electric shock. If damaged, immediately
discontinue use. Replace the charger with the
identical unit as listed in the Parts List of this
manual.
■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a blower.
Do not use blower while tired, upset, or under
the inuence 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. They can be caught in moving
parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial
footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
■ Secure long hair above shoulder level to
prevent entanglement in moving parts.
■ Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
in the locked or off position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying blowers with your
nger on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a blower with the switch on invites
accidents.
■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dusk mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
3 ― English
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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, rooftop, tree, or
other 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.
■ For household use only.
■ Remove or disconnect battery before
servicing, cleaning or removing material from
the gardening appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the blower accidentally.
■ Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
■ 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
uids, 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 safety glasses with side
