GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate fans in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Fans create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

A battery-operated fan with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
Use a battery-operated fan only with a specifically designated battery pack. The use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in the locked or off position before inserting the battery pack. Carrying fans with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a fan with the switch on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the fan in unexpected situations.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.
Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the fan in unexpected situations.

FAN USE AND CARE

Do not use a fan if the switch does not turn it on or off. A fan that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the battery pack from a fan or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the fan. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the fan accidentally.
When the 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
Keep the fan 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 fan. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use this fan near water.
Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not operate near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified 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 specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When the 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, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause an explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

Fan service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a fan, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

FAN SAFETY WARNINGS

Know your fan. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this fan. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place fans or their batteries near fire or heat.
This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
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 an open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
Not for use in kitchens.
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric shock, the fan should not be played with or placed where small children can reach it.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose yourself to water or rain.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
