• Keep children, bystanders and animals away from the work area a minimum of 30 feet (10 meters) when starting or operating the tool. Do not blow debris in directions of bystanders.

• Keep the blower and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the blower’s operation. If damaged, have the blower serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained blowers.

• 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.

• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheated and cause burns.

• Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown by or become entangled in the machine.

• Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. Always ensure that the blower tube is installed.

• Never use the blower near fires or hot ashes. Use near fires or ashes can spread fires and result in serious injury and/or property damage.

• Never use blower to spread chemicals, fertilizers, or any other toxic substances. Spreading these substances could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
