VIBRATION
The declared vibration emission values stated
in the technical data and the declaration
of conformity have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method
provided by EN 60745 and may be used for
comparing one tool with another. The declared
vibration emission value may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure
The vibration emission value during
actual use of the power tool can differ from
the declared value depending on the ways
in which the tool is used. The vibration
level may increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to
determine safety measures required by
2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an
estimation of vibration exposure should
consider, the actual conditions of use
and the way the tool is used, including
taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time.

5. MAINTENANCE

When servicing use only
identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents
and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum based products,
penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic.
Do not attempt to modify this tool
or create accessories not recommended
for use with this tool. Any such alteration
or modification is misuse and could
result in a hazardous condition leading
to possible serious personal injury.
To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the tool when
cleaning or performing any maintenance.
STORING THE BLOWER
Clean the blower thoroughly before storing. Store
the blower in a dry, well-ventilated place that is
inaccessible to children. Keep away
from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
• Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
• Never store batteries in a discharged
condition. Wait for battery pack to
cool and fully charge immediately.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge.
The higher the temperature, the quicker
they lose their charge. If you store your unit
for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery pack life.

6. DISPOSAL

Do not dispose of electrical equipment
with household waste material. In
observance of European Directive
2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic
equipment waste and its implementation in
accordance with national regulations, electrical
equipment that has reached the end of its
product life must be collected separately and
recycled in an ecologically compatible way. If
electrical equipment is disposed of in dumps
or in landfills, hazardous substances can
leak into the groundwater and contaminate
the food chain, damaging your health and
well-being. For further information on the
disposal of this product, contact your dealer
