4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
d ) 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.
e ) 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.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g ) 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.
h ) 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.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
g ) 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
22
22
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised service providers.
Garden Blower Safety Warnings
a ) Do not use the garden blower in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the
risk of being struck by lightning.
b ) Wear eye protection and ear protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce the risk of personal injury.
c ) While operating the garden blower, always wear
non‑slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the
garden blower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This
reduces the risk of injury to the feet.
d ) Do not wear loose fitting clothing or articles such as
scarves, strings, chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn into
the air inlets. Tie back or cover long hair to make sure it
does not get drawn into the air inlets. If any of these items are
drawn into the air inlets, it can increase the risk of personal injury.
e ) Keep bystanders away while operating the garden blower.
Thrown debris can increase the risk of personal injury.
f ) Never point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or
pets or in the direction of windows. Use extra caution when
blowing debris near solid objects, such as trees, automobiles
and walls that can cause debris to ricochet. Thrown objects can
damage property and increase the risk of personal injury.
g ) Do not use the garden blower to blow anything that is
burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
These ignition sources may increase the risk of fire.
h ) Do not touch the fan while still in motion. Turn off the
machine and wait until the fan stops before removing any
part that may give access to the fan. This reduces the risk of
injury from moving parts.
i ) When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine,
make sure the power switch is off. Unexpected starting of the
machine while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
j ) Only use the garden blower at ground level and not on
ladders or any unstable support.
k ) Never simultaneously wear multiple belt harnesses or
multiple shoulder harnesses.
l ) When wearing a harness, ensure no other wearable
interferes with the release and removal of the harness.
m ) Inspect machine for damage if there appears to be
excessive vibration.
