Many accidents are caused by poorlymaintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges areless likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. inaccordance with these instructions, taking intoaccount the working conditions and the work to beperformed. Use of the power tool for operationsdifferent from those intended could result in ahazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified by themanufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one typeof battery pack may create a risk of fire when usedwith another battery pack. Use power tools only with specifically designatedbattery packs. Use of any other battery packs maycreate a risk of injury and fire. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away fromother metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,nails, screws or other small metal objects, that canmake a connection from one terminal to another.Shorting the battery terminals together may causeburns or a fire.

OPERATING THE BLOWER

See Figures 5. To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of a pile. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available. 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. After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris properly.

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 Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contactwith plastic parts. They contain chemicals that candamage, weaken or destroy plastic. WARNING Do not attempt to modify this tool or createaccessories not recommended for use with this tool.Any such alteration or modification is misuse andcould result in a hazardous condition leading topossible serious personal injury. WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove thebattery pack from the tool when cleaning or performingany maintenance.

Clean the blower thoroughly before storing. Store theblower in a dry, well-ventilated place that is inaccessibleto children. Keep away from corrosive agents such asgarden chemicals and de-icing salts. Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.Temperatures above or below normal roomtemperature will shorten battery pack life. Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Waitfor battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately. All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higherthe temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. Ifyou store your unit for long periods of time withoutusing it, recharge the batteries every month or two.This practice will prolong battery pack life. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ■ Environmental protection should be a priority of considerable importance when using the machine, for the benefit of both social coexistence and the environment in which we live.
