BLOWER MODEL BL300

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool (Fig. 1).
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
FIG. 1
CAUTION: ESTABLISH A BYSTANDER
SAFETY ZONE OF 16 FT (5 M) PRIOR
TO OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
Bystander safety zone is a 16 ft (5 m) circle
around the operator that must remain free
from bystanders, children and pets.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Charger plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering the charger
will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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.
AA 1214 - F/N 571702
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, long pants or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
your finger is not on the variable
trigger before inserting battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the variable
trigger does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect 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.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use.
See "Inspection" in this manual. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
