It is not a toy.
Close attention is necessary when used near children.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model described in this manual.
Accessories that may be suitable for one blower may create a risk of injury when used on another blower. Use only as described in this manual.
Do not handle charger, including charger plug, and charger terminals with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
Do not charge the unit outdoors.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs or steps.
Do not operate blowers in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Blowers create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at least 50 ft. away while operating a blower. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
A battery operated blower 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 battery operated blower only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
For use with 40V lithium-ion battery packs, see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 988000-842 .
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock . If damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized service center.
If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

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 on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the blower in unexpected situations.
Do not use blower if switch does not turn it on or off.
A blower that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from blower or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the blower.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the blower accidentally.
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
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.
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, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your
