NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (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).

SAFETY WARNINGS
Battery Powered Blower Safety
Instructions
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
Training
1.
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the correct use of the
blower.
2.
Never allow children, persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge or people
unfamiliar with these instructions to use the
blower. Local regulations may restrict the age
of the operator.
Never operate the blower while people, espe-
3.
cially children, or pets are nearby.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is
4.
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
Preparation
Always wear substantial footwear and long
1.
trousers while operating the blower.
2.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that
can be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair
away from the air inlets.
3.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
To prevent dust irritation the wearing of a face
4.
mask is recommended.
5.
While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
6.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Inspect the cord before operating the machine.
7.
If the cord is damaged, ask Makita Authorized
Service Centers for repair.
