General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifictions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Other persons and animals should remain at a distance of 3 meters or more when the machine is being used. Dirt should never be blown in the direction of bystanders.
• Stay alert for hazards that cannot be heard when operating the leaf blower.
• Be careful not to trip over the machine when placing it on the ground.
• The user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

Electrical safety

• 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 the power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid all bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Wear suitable clothing, including long trousers. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Do not run with the power tool.
• Always use the product at waist level on the ground.
• Do not let familiarity gained from the frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

• 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 and accessories. 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 handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Never spray the product with water. Never immerse the product in water.
• Only operate the product with a mounted nozzle.
• Blow garden waste only. Do not blow or use the product near hot, flammable or explosive material. Do not blow snow or objects that could become a projectile. Do not use the blower as a propulsion for vehicles (e.g. skate-board).
• The machine continues to blow for a few seconds after being switched off. Allow the motor to stop rotating before switching on again. Do not rapidly switch off and on.
• This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.
• Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
• Do not modify the product. Unauthorized modifications may impair the safety of your product and may result in increased noise and vibration.
• Always start the product at a low-speed level, especially in cold temperatures.
• Do not place other objects on the product.
• Do not use the product in closed rooms where dust can be inhaled.
• If the tool exhibits unusual noise or vibration, especially from the fan, return it to the service center.

Safety Instructions and Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

• Ensure the product is switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting the battery into a product that has the switch on can cause accidents.
• Use only Bosch batteries intended specifically for this product. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
• Protect the battery against heat (e.g., against continuous intense sunlight), fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
• Keep the battery not being used away from 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.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery pack, vapors may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapors can irritate the respiratory system.
• Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a risk of explosion.
• Protect the battery against moisture and water.
• Store the product and battery only within a temperature range between –20 °C and 50 °C . As an example, do not leave the battery in the car in summer.
• Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft, clean, and dry brush.
