GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate portable fans in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Portable fans create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 A battery operated portable fan with integral batteries
or a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery.
 Use battery operated portable fan only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
 Use battery only with charger listed. For use with
18V nickel-cadmium and 18V lithium-ion battery packs,
see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432.
PERSONAL SAFETY
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
in the locked or off position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying portable fans with your finger
on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a
portable fan with the switch on invites accidents.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the portable fan in unexpected situations.
 Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
portable fan in unexpected situations.
PORTABLE FAN USE AND CARE
 Do not use portable fan if switch does not turn it on or off.
A portable fan that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect battery pack from portable fan or place
the switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
portable fan. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the portable fan accidentally.
 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 sparks, burns,
or a fire.
 Keep the portable fan and its handle dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
portable fan. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
SERVICE
 Portable fan service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk
of injury.
 When servicing a portable fan, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
