WA R N I N G
(PROPOSITION 65)
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 paints
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50F but less than 100F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store
outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes,
then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE UNIT
AIR VENTS
Never cover air vents. Keep them free from obstructions and debris. They must always remain
clear for proper motor cooling.
WA R N I N G
To avoid serious personal injury, do not wear loose fitting clothing or articles such as scarves,
strings, chains, ties, etc., that could get drawn into the air vents. To make sure long hair does not
get drawn into the air vents, tie back long hair.
OPERATING AS A BLOWER
Hold the blower firmly. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground
or floor. Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry
blowing operations are better suited to low speeds, rather than high. High speed blowing is a
better way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
OPERATING AS A MULCHER
Hold the vac firmly, tilting the mulcher tubes (2-4 in. or 5-10 cm), and use a sweeping action to
collect light debris. The debris will flow into the bag. Items such as small leaves and twigs will be
mulched as they pass through the fan housing. For longer bag life and increased performance,
empty the bag often.
WA R N I N G
In order to avoid personal injury and the risk of fire and electric shock, remove the battery pack
before adjusting, inspecting, or cleaning the blower.
Cleaning
Remove the battery pack.
1. Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air vents using compressed air or a vacuum. Keep
the air vents free of obstructions, sawdust, and wood chips. Do not spray, wash, or immerse the
air vents in water.
2. Wipe off the housing and the plastic components using a moist, soft cloth. Do not use strong
solvents or detergents on the plastic housing or plastic components. Certain household cleaners
may cause damage, and may cause a shock hazard.
Battery Pack
Store the battery pack at half charge. 2 lights remaining on the battery is ideal for storage conditions.
Once the charging light turns green, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the
charger from the outlet.
Do not store the battery pack on the tool.
After charging, the battery pack may be stored in the charger, as long as the charger is not
plugged in.
Charger Maintenance
Keep the charger clean and clear of debris. Do not allow foreign material to get into the recessed cavity or onto the contacts. Wipe the charger clean with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents
or water, and do not place the charger in wet conditions.
Unplug the charger when there is no battery pack in it.
Fully charge the batteries before placing them in storage.
Store the charger at normal room temperature. Do not store it in excessive heat. Do not use
the charger in direct sunlight. Recharge at room temperature between 45F and 104F (7C and
