5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
► Never expose the blower to microwaves or high
pressures.
► Never insert foreign objects into the blower's charging
socket, activation key socket or other openings.
■ High temperatures may cause the blower's integrated
battery to generate heat, rupture, leak, ignite or explode,
resulting in severe or fatal personal injury and property
damage. Exposure to temperatures outside the
recommended temperature range may also damage the
battery.
■ To reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage
in the event the blower emits smoke, an unusual smell or
feels unusually hot while using, charging or storing:
► Immediately discontinue using or charging the blower
and prepare to contact the authorities in the event of fire
or explosion.
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock:
► Never bridge the electrical contacts of the activation key
socket with wires or other metallic objects (e.g., paper
clips, nails, coins, keys).
► Store the blower indoors in a dry room.
► Never store the blower in damp or corrosive
environments or in conditions that could lead to
corrosion of its metal components or battery.
► Protect the blower from exposure to corrosive agents
such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts, which may
damage its battery and increase the risk of short circuit,
fire and explosion.
► Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the
blower. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
■ If the integrated battery is damaged, battery fluid can leak
out of the blower. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin and
eye irritation or chemical burns.
► Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
► Use an inert absorbent such as sand on spilled liquids.
► In the event of accidental contact, immediately rinse the
contact area thoroughly with mild soap and water.
► If fluid gets into your eye(s): Do not rub. Rinse water
over the open eye(s) for at least 15 minutes and seek
medical attention.
■ A battery fire can be dangerous. To reduce the risk of
severe personal injury and property damage in the event
of fire:
► Evacuate the area. Fire can spread rapidly. Stay clear
of any vapors generated and maintain a safe distance.
► Contact the fire department.
► Although water can be used to put out a battery fire, use
of a multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher is
preferable.
► Consult the fire department regarding proper disposal of
the burned battery.
► Never heat the blower above 212°F
(100°C) or place it on or near fires,
stoves or other high-temperature
locations.
► Use and store the blower only within an
ambient temperature range of 32°F to
122°F (0°C to 50°C).
► Never store the blower in direct sunlight
or inside a vehicle in hot weather.
► Keep the blower dry. Protect it from rain
and ensure that the blower and its
battery are never exposed to water,
liquids or damp conditions.
► Never immerse the blower in water or
other liquids.
