WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints,
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.

WARNING:
To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a
qualied service technician.
WARNING:
To reduce risk of re, electric shock, or injury:
Know your power blower. Read the instruction manual carefully. Learn
the blower’s 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 use outdoors or on wet surfaces. Don’t expose the blower to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a blower will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not allow the blower to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended attachments.
If the blower is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
Do not handle the charger, including charger plug, or charger terminals with
wet hands.
Do not put any object into any openings. Do not use with any opening
blocked; keep openings 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. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air
vents.
Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving
parts.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not charge the battery pack outdoors.
Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.
Do not leave blower unattended when the battery is inserted. Remove the
battery when the blower is not in use and before servicing.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB4800 9
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.
Use the battery operated blower only with specically designated battery
pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of re.
Use only with battery packs and chargers listed below.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power blower. Do not use the 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.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure that the switch is in the locked or off
position before inserting the 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. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
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.
Always take care of your feet, children, or pets around you when removing the
battery pack from blower. Serious injury could result if the battery pack falls.
NEVER remove the battery pack when in a high position.
Do not use the 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 the battery pack from the blower before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the blower. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the blower accidentally.
Turn off all controls before removing the battery.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB480010
DO NOT attempt to clear clogs from the unit without rst removing the battery.
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 shields. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They 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 protec tion 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 powered 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, re, or
serious personal injury.
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 ame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, ush with water immediately.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB4800 11

Do not point the blower tube in the direction of people or pets.
Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. Always ensure that
the blower tube is installed.
When not in use, the blower should be stored indoors in a dry, secure place
out of the reach of children.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
Blower service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualied 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 the blower near res or hot ashes. Use near res or ashes can
spread res and result in serious injury and/or property damage.

substances. Spreading these substances could result in serious injury to the
operator or bystanders.
Never place the blower on any surface, except a hard, clean surface when
