IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Blowers have motors and other parts that can
produce sparks during normal use. Do not use
within 30 feet of areas where explosive materials
may be present (such as gasoline pumps and
places where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners,
solvents, etc. are stored).
• Do not use in the presence of explosive dust,
liquids or vapors.
• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are
used.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use extra care when using on stairs.
• Do not handle charger, battery pack or blower
with wet hands.
• Do not blow anything that is burning or smok-
ing such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• To reduce the risk of health hazards from va-
pors or dust, do not blow toxic, carcinogenic
or other hazardous materials such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or
other health endangering materials.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out microscopic par-
ticles.
• Do not leave blower unattended when battery
pack is installed. Remove battery pack when not
in use and before servicing.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, and anything else that may reduce air
fl ow.
• Maintain blower. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
blower's operation. If damaged, have the
blower repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• Use blower only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fi re.
• Turn off all controls before removing battery
pack.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
use on wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain.
Store indoors. Do not charge outdoors.
• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re
when used with another battery pack.
• 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fi re.
• Do not use damaged battery pack or blower.
If battery pack or blower are not working as
they should, have been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return them to a
service center.
• Do not burn or incinerate battery packs. Bat-
tery packs may explode, causing personal injury
or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created
when battery packs are burned.
