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. 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.
