GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work Area Safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the liquids, fumes or dust.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical Safety
Charger plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) chargers.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools, the charger or Power Cells to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the tool,
chargers or Power Cells will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the power cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the charger. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a charger outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a charger in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. An RCD is also known as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB). Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal Safety
Stay alert, be aware of your surroundings, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention

When wearing hearing protection, you will have impaired ability to hear alarms, warnings and shouts from approaching people or approaching vehicles. Be extra diligent and observant of hazards and bystanders when wearing hearing protection devices. When someone approaches, turn the blower OFF immediately.
WARNING:
The high velocity of the air flow coming
through the nozzle will throw objects and debris violently and the objects and debris will ricochet in all directions. You
or bystanders can be blinded or injured. Keep children, bystanders, pets
and other animals at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from the operating blower. Turn the blower OFF immediately if
approached, or if you are approaching such bystanders. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection, even if they are kept at a distance.
Thrown objects may also ricochet and strike the operator or bystander.
Utilize extra caution, when the blower is being used near, or on paved or hard surfaces, as pieces of metal, concrete, brick, stones, gravel, sand, glass, sticks and other objects can be thrown at high speed and force and such objects can be thrown, skip along or ricochet long distances off of hard surfaces.
Do not use this blower for sweeping debris that may contain hard objects, e.g. pebbles, stones, sticks, glass, metal, etc. as such hard objects can be thrown with great force and cause injury to the operator or bystanders, and / or damage property, e.g., screens, windows, building siding, glass doors, or vehicles.
NOTICE: Avoid operating the blower
near property that can be easily damaged by thrown or ricocheting objects such as screens, windows, building siding, glass doors and vehicles.
WARNING: Always wear
breathing protection when operating the blower. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear breathing protection devices even if they are kept at a distance as hazardous dust can travel considerable distances, especially if the dust is wind blown.
WARNING: Know what
you are going to blow,
before you blow.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release the throttle control (1) and
wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop (Fig. 4).
USING THE POWER CONTROL BUTTON
The power control button (1) allows the operator to switch between Boost (2) and Eco (3) modes, as needed (Fig. 5):
• Boost mode provides maximum
power for tough jobs.
• Eco mode conserves energy for
maximum run time. Eco mode is appropriate for most jobs.
Push the power control button forward for Boost mode (Fig. 5). Push the power control button back to return to Eco mode (Fig. 5).
NOTE: When blowing lighter materials such as small leaves, set the power control button to Eco. The lower speed will allow the Power Cell to provide longer running time. When blowing heavier materials such as large leaves or wet grass, set the power control button to Boost. The higher speed will produce increased air flow for moving the heavier materials. It will also shorten the running time of the Power Cell before it requires recharging.
WARNING: Increased air flow when
running the blower at high speed will cause debris to be violently thrown.
