GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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.

WORK AREA SAFETY

◾

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

flammable 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 influence of drugs, alcoholor 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.

EN

◾

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 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 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.

SERVICE

◾

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

◾

Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces if water is available.

◾

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.

STORAGE

◾

Remove the battery pack from the blower.

◾

Clean all foreign material from the air inlets of the blower.

◾

Align the blower-tube storage knob with the tubehanging groove and hook the blower tube onto the battery compartment housing (Fig. V & W).

◾

Store in an enclosed space that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.

Protecting the environment

Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities.

Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available.

If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.
