Ensure that the unit is not directed at anybody or any loose debris before starting the unit. Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure the tubes and guards are in place and secure. To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours— not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed to do the job. Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens. Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away. AIR VENTS Never cover air vents. Keep them free of obstructions and debris. They must always remain clear for proper motor cooling.

BATTERY PACK Store the battery pack charged. Once the charging light turns green, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the outlet. Recharge the battery pack anytime you have notice there is less power. Never let the battery pack become completely discharged. After charging, the battery pack may be stored in the charger as long as the charger is not plugged in. WARNING When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. WARNING

based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic. WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.

Clean the blower thoroughly before storing. Store the blower in a dry, well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery pack life. Once the light on the charger turns solid green, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the outlet. Do not store the battery pack on the tool. Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately. All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your unit for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery pack life. 4English (original instructions) Deutsch (Übersetzung der originalen anleitungen)
