before using misting fan. Spilled water and leaks can
result in a slippery surface and create a slip and fall
hazard.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric
shock, the portable fan should not be played with or
placed where small children can reach it.
Ensure battery compartment cover is completely
closed to prevent water from contacting battery or
entering battery port.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly injury.
Never use a battery that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product
and safely disposed of.
If the product is to be stored unused for a long
period, the batteries should be removed.
Ensure that the product is switched off from the
supply mains before removing the guard.
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not expose the product to rain. Water entering
the product will increase the risk of electric shock or
malfunction.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged
in a location where the temperature is more than
10°C (50°F) but less than 38°C (100°F). Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and
water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate
medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Keep the product dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also
to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
