■

Do not operate the product in poor lighting. The

operator requires a clear view of the work area to

identify potential hazards.

■

Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear

warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay

extra attention to what is going on in the work area.

■

Do not get distracted, and always concentrate on the

task.

■

Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk

of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to

enter your work area.

■

Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.

Overreaching can result in loss of balance.

■

Always be sure of the footing on slopes. Walk, never

run.

■

Keep all parts of your body away from any moving

part. Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury.

Stop the machine and ensure that impeller blades have

stopped rotating before:

●

opening the fan guard

●

installing, changing, or unblocking tubes

●

opening, removing, or emptying the debris collector

■

Never run the product without the proper equipment

attached. When used as a blower, always install the

blower tubes and close the fan guard. When used as

a vacuum, always install both of the vacuum tubes and

debris collector bag.

■

Do not modify the product in any way or use parts

and accessories that are not recommended by the

manufacturer.

WARNING

If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact or begins

to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and

inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.

Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by

an authorised service centre.

To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting

rotating parts, always stop the machine, remove the battery

pack, and make sure all moving parts have stopped:

●

before cleaning or clearing a blockage

●

when leaving the product unattended

●

before installing or removing attachments

●

before checking, maintaining or working on the

product

●

if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (inspect

immediately)

SPECIFIC BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

■

In blower mode, use the product with the vacuum tubes

fitted, or you may choose to remove them and close

the fan guard. You must never separate the vacuum

tubes and operate with only the upper tube fitted. These

tubes are designed to be a one-time fit. If you attempt

to separate the fitted vacuum tubes, the tubes will be

damaged. This significantly increases the potential for

serious injury by contact with the rotating fan.

■

Wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to reduce

the risk of injury associated with the inhalation of dust.

■

Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions.

■

Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people

or pets.

■

Never place objects inside the blower tubes.

■

Do not operate the product near open windows.

■

Use the full blower nozzle extension so that the air

stream can work close to the ground and perform

effectively.

■

Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris.

Debris can be sucked into the intake vent, resulting in

possible damage to the product.

SPECIFIC VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Never operate the vacuum with only the upper vacuum

tube fitted. Failure to follow this warning increases the

risk of personal injury.

■

Do not operate the vacuum without the debris collector

bag assembly installed; flying debris could cause

serious injury. Make sure that the debris collector bag

is in good condition and completely closed before

operating.

■

Move the vacuum from side to side along the outer

edge of debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the

vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.

■

Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of the vacuum

tube.

■

Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on

a hillside.

■

To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage to the

product, do not try to vacuum up rocks, broken glass,

bottles, or similar objects.

■

Avoid situations that could cause fire in the debris

collector bag. Do not operate near an open flame. Do

not vacuum up warm ash from fireplaces and barbecue

pits. Do not vacuum up discarded cigars or cigarettes

unless the cinders are completely cool.
