Safety Information
Electrical Safety of Tool and Charger
a)
The charger is designed to use standard household 230-240V 50Hz power. The charger’s
plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord of charger. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
Make sure charger cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
f)
DO NOT
incinerate the tool or battery packs even if they are severely damaged or completely
worn out. The batteries can exploded in a fire. You should return it to a local battery collection point
in accordance with Battery Regulations.
Personal Safety
a)
Use personal protective equipment(PPE).
Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
b)
Dress appropriately.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as these can be caught in moving
parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
keep long hair out of the way.
c)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
d)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
e)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
f)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times
. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
a)
Be certain the parts are fully tightened before operating the tool.
Check it periodically for
tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
b)
Do not start the blower without fit the blower tube.
c) To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss of control, do not walk backward while operating the
machine.
d)
Risk of unattended.
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder,
in a tree or any other insecure support. Never hold the machine above shoulder height.
e)
Use the designated battery and battery charger.
Use of an attachment not recommended
by manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
f)
Check for damaged parts.
Before further use, carefully check the tool for damage. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
condition that may affect its operation.
Do not use the tool if any parts are damaged or defective. Have any damaged or defective parts
repaired or replaced by an authorized service agent. Never attempt any repairs yourself.
g)
Grip the tool securely.
Operator should one hand on the main handle, the other on the rear
handle. Keep finger offer trigger until ready to use.
h)
Keep handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
i)
Carry the blower by the handle after switch off the appliance.
When transporting or storing
the blower always remove the battery pack. It avoids the risk of the motor starting unintentionally.
j)
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.
k)
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.
l)
Do not charge the battery in an air temperature below 5
o
C or above 45
o
C.This is
important and will prevent serious damage to the battery.
Longest life and best performance
can be obtained if the battery is charged when air temperature is about 24
o
C.
m)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
