Cordless Leaf Blower Operating Instructions

1. Proper use

The leaf blower is intended for blowing leaves together
in a desired direction or blowing them away from hard-to­reach places. The device is not suitable for use in build­ings.
The device must not be used by children or inrm persons
without supervision.

Charging the rechargeable battery

Only charge the rechargeable battery block with the
charger provided by the manufacturer.
To protect against the danger of electrical shock, injury
and burns, read and understand this operating manual
completely before you charge the battery.

Improper use

All uses of the device which are not stated in the section
‘Proper use’ are considered improper use.

The leaf blower (leaf vacuum) must not be used for the
following purposes:

• Use in enclosed spaces

• Use as a fan

• Grooming pet animals
There is a danger of injury.
The user of the device is liable for all property damage

and personal injury resulting from improper use.
Use of other or non-original parts on the machine voids

the manufacturer’s warranty.

Residual risks

Even if the tool is used properly, there is always a residual
risk that cannot be excluded. Due to the type and design
of the tool, the following potential dangers may result:

• Unintentional starting of the product

• Objects being hurled away by the air jet

• Hearing damage if suitable hearing protection is not
worn

• Inhalation of leaves, dust and whirled-up particles

If the instructions contained in this instruction manual are
not observed, other residual risks may result due to im­proper use.

2. Safety information

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Fail-

ure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings below refers to your mains­operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cord­less) power tool.

Save these instructions.

2.1 Work area

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

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.

2.2 Electrical safety

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi­tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

2.3 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.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the
power tool is switched off before you connect it to
the mains supply and/or the battery and whenever
you pick up or carry the tool. When carrying the tool

with your nger on the on/off switch or connecting the
tool to the mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’ posi­tion, this may result in accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn­ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached

to a rotating 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.

GB-3

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure that
these are connected and properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

2.4 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.

• Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery
before adjusting a tool, changing accessories or
putting the tool aside. This precaution avoids the

unintentional start of the tool.

• 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 it. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. 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.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,

in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

2.5 Appropriate handling and use of bat-

tery-operated power tools

• Make sure that the device has been switched off
before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into a

switched-on power tool may lead to accidents!

• Only use charging devices recommended by the
manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging

units are usually designed for certain types of batter­ies; if used with other types there is a risk of re!

• Only use batteries designed for your power tool.

The use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk
of re!

• Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that may bridge the contacts. A short circuit between

the battery contacts may lead to burns or re!

• Improper use may result in uid leaking out of
the battery. Avoid any contact with battery uid.
Flush with water in case of contact. If battery uid
should get into your eyes seek medical advice ad­ditionally. Leaking battery uid may lead to irritations

of the skin or burns!

2.6 Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied re-

pair personnel using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

2.7 Safety instructions for the charger

and rechargeable battery

(not included in the

scope of delivery)

such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the solution comes
into contact with the eyes, ush them for at least 10
minutes with running water and consult with a doctor.

This product must not be disposed of with household
waste. Old devices contain valuable recyclable material
which should be taken for re-utilisation and to prevent
