•
rubber boat or the similar.
12. Do not operate the blower near open window, etc.
13. Operating the blower only at reasonable hours
is recommended - not early in the morning or
late at night when people might be disturbed.
14. Using rakes and brooms to loosen debris
before blowing is recommended.
15. If the blower strikes any foreign objects or

before restarting and operating the blower. If
the blower is damaged, ask Makita Authorized
Service Centers for repair.

with parts provided by Makita.
3. Store the blower in a dry place out of the reach of children.
4. When you stop the blower for inspection, ser-
vicing, storage, or changing accessory, switch
off the blower and make sure that all moving
parts come to a complete stop, and remove the
battery cartridge. Cool down the blower before
making any work on the blower. Maintain the
blower with care and keep it clean.
5. Always cool down the blower before storing.

knees and be careful not to hurt your back.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
2.
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
3.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Electrical and battery safety
1. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
3. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
4. Do not charge the battery outdoors.
5. Do not handle charger, including charger plug,
and charger terminals with wet hands.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
