GENERAL BATTERY-OPERATED POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
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 ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Always use personal protective equipment. Personal protective equipment such as eye protection, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat and/or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LBX60006
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to the battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a moving part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or longhair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool and/or activate any battery disabling device before clearing jammed material, making any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LBX6000 7
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools and
accessories.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces may lead to unsafe handling
and/or loss of control of the tool.
Keep cables away from the working area of the tool. During operation cables may be hidden from view and can be accidentally damaged by the tool.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack. Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below.
BATTERY PACK CHARGER
BAX1501 CHX5500
Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
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 burns or a re.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contact eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LBX60008
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 212 °F (100°C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLOWER
Do not allow the blower to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
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.
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.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not leave blower unattended when the battery is inserted. Remove the battery when the blower is not in use and before servicing.
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.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LBX6000 9
Do not point the blower tube in the direction of people or pets.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
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.
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 the blower on any surface, except a hard, clean surface when the 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.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan this tool to someone else, also loan these instructions to them to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.

OPERATING TIPS
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of a pile.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.
Use rakes and/or brooms to loosen debris before blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces if water is available.
Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
After using blowers or other equipment, clean up! Dispose of debris properly.
