GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
To reduce risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury:
1. Know your power blower. Read the
instruction manual carefully. Learn the
blower’s applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to
this blower. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
injury.
2. Do not use in rain.
3. Do not allow the blower to be used as a
toy. Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual.
Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
5. Do not handle the charger, including
charger plug, or charger terminals with
wet hands.
6. 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 flow.
7. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be drawn into air vents.
8. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
9. Do not charge the battery pack
outdoors.
10. Use only the charger supplied by the
manufacturer to recharge.
11. Do not incinerate the appliance even if
it is severely damaged. The batteries can
explode in a fire.
12. Use the battery operated blower only
with specifically designated battery pack.
Use of any other batteries may create a risk
of fire.
13. Only use attachments recommended
or sold by the manufacturer.
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger and battery, use
only the batteries and charger listed.

15. Do not leave blower unattended when
the battery is inserted. Remove the battery
when the blower is not in use and before
servicing.
16. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure that
the switch is in the locked or off position
before inserting the battery pack. Carrying
blowers with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a blower with
the switch on invites accidents.
17. Do not operate blowers in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Blowers
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
18. 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 influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating blowers may
result in serious personal injury.
19. 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.
20. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not
overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of
balance.
Page 5
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
21. Always take care of your feet, children,
or pets around you when removing the
battery pack from blower. Never remove
the battery pack when in a high position.
Serious injury could result if the battery pack
falls.
22. 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.
23. Remove 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.
24. 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.
25. Keep the blower and its handle dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Always
use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, 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.
26. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing
protection when operating this equipment.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye
injury.
27. 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.
28. Protect your hearing. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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 flame. An exploded
battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
32. Check the work area before each use.
Remove all objects such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string which can be
thrown by or become entangled in the
machine.
33. Do not point the blower tube in the
direction of people or pets.
34. Never run the unit without the proper
equipment attached. Always ensure that
the blower tube is installed.
35. When not in use, the blower should be
stored indoors in a dry, secure place out of
the reach of children.
36. Keep all bystanders, children, and pets
at least 50 ft. away.
37. 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.
38. Never use the blower near fires or hot
ashes. Use near fires or ashes can spread
fires and result in serious injury and/or
property damage.
39. Never use blower to spread chemicals,
fertilizers, or any other toxic substances.
40. Spreading these substances could
result in serious injury to the operator or
bystanders.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
41. 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

causing possible serious injuries.
42. 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.
