WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs

and replacements should be performed by a qualified service technician. SAFETY SYMBOLS The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations with them deserve your careful attention and understanding. The symbol warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any danger. The instructions and warnings they give are no substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

WARNING: Be sure to read and understand all safety

instructions in this Operator’s Manual, including all safety alert symbols such as “DANGER,” “WARNING,” and “CAUTION” before using this tool. Failure to following all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

DAMAGE PREVENTION AND INFORMATION MESSAGES

These inform the user of important information and/or instructions that could lead to equipment or other property damage if they are not followed. Each message is preced-ed by the word “NOTICE”, as in the example below: NOTICE: Equipment and/or property damage may result if these instructions are not followed.

power tools can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend a Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

◾ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. ◾ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, petrol or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. ◾ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY ◾ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock ◾ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. ◾ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. ◾ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. ◾ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. ◾ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground-fault circuit interrupter protected supply. Use of GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. PERSONAL SAFETY ◾ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. ◾ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. ◾ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. ◾ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. ◾ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. ◾ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. ◾ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

◾ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. ◾ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. ◾ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BLOWER — LB5750E6

◾ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. ◾ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. ◾ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. ◾ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

◾ Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. ◾ Use power tools only with specically 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, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. SERVICE ◾ Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
