IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use equipment only with specifically designated 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 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 terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or equipment that is damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or equipment to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible
adult.

14 years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and
safety rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the blower off if a child or any other person enters the working
area.

other objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the
blower.
