5.5 Service
▪ Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare
parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
6 SAFETY WARNING FOR BLOWER
▪ 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.
▪ Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving
parts.
▪ Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
▪ Remove all hard objects from work area. Do not blow debris in the direction of people,
animals or property.
▪ Use only accessories provided. Keep guards in place and in working order.
▪ Maintain labels and nameplates on the appliance. These carry important safety
information.
▪ People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic
fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure.
▪ 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.
▪ Disconnect the battery pack from the blower before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the blower. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the blower accidentally.
▪ DO NOT attempt to clear clogs from the unit without first removing the battery.
▪ The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
7.1 Batteries
▪ Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
2 Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
3 It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪ Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪ Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
− Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
