W A R N I N G
Read and understand all instructions before using this product. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal
injury. When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. BEFORE USING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended
attachments.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts away from openings and
moving parts.
• Store indoors. Do not expose to rain or water. Avoid direct sunshine.
2. WHEN USING THIS BLOWER
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or
use in areas where they may be present.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, the batttery charger has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The plug will only fit into a polarized extension cord one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will only fit into the polarized wall outlet
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any
way.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the
equipment without proper instruction.
• Wear eye protection that is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating
this product.
• Do not handle charger, including charger plug, and charger terminals with wet
hands.
• Do not charge the unit outdoors.
• Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves. Avoid loose garments or jewelry that
could get caught in moving parts of the machine or its motor.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will
work more efficiently and safely when it is used at the rate that it was designed to work
at.
