GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, ﬁre, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from

debris such as blown dirt, rocks, sticks, etc. Provide barriers or shields as need-

ed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the

SKU 93726 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3

grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away

from the user.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will 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 tired or under the

inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

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.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situa-

tions.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact goggles when using this

product. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, and a hard hat must be used

for appropriate conditions.

Noise precautions: Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dBA is

hazardous to hearing. Always wear ANSI-approved hearing protection when

operating or working around the Blower when it is running.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use the Blower if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any

tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be

replaced.

Turn off the Power Switch and disconnect the AC/DC Adapter from the

electrical outlet before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing the Blower. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the tool accidentally.

SKU 93726 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep the Blower clean and in proper working

order. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind

and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do

not use” until repaired.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have

the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-

tained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous

when used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualiﬁed repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualiﬁed personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow in-

structions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Maintain labels and nameplates on the Blower. These carry important infor-

mation. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

Never point the Blower in the direction of people or animals when the tool

is running.

Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before

turning on the Blower.

When using a handheld power tool, always maintain a ﬁrm grip on the tool

with both hands to resist starting torque.

SKU 93726 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5

The charge time for the Battery (3) is from 10 to 12 hours. Do not charge the

Battery for over 12 hours as damage to the Battery and/or Blower may result.

Always switch to a fresh Battery (3) when tool performance begins to di-

minish. Severe heat is most destructive to a Battery. The more heat generated,

the faster the Battery loses its power. A Battery that gets too hot can be perma-

nently damaged. Never over-discharge a Battery by using the tool even after

tool performance is decreasing. Never attempt to discharge a tool’s Battery by

leaving the Power Switch on. When tool performance begins to diminish stop the

tool, recharge the Battery, and use the fresh Battery for optimal performance.

Battery (3) leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature condi-

tions. Do not attempt to charge a leaking Battery. If Battery ﬂuid comes

in contact with skin, wash with soap and water and rinse with lemon juice and

vinegar. If the ﬂuid comes into contact with eyes, ﬂush with water for several min-

utes and contact a physician immediately.

Never burn a Battery, as it can explode in a ﬁre. Contact local solid

waste authorities for instructions on correct disposal of a Battery.

Do not operate the Blower without its Blower Tube (11) attached.

Do not operate the Blower while it is attached to the AC/DC Adapter (20).

Do not operate the Blower indoors.

WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before

using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart

pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

WARNING! The warnings and cautions discussed in this manual cannot

cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-

stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot

be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.

Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power

cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before

use. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed

electrician.

DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special

double insulation system which satisﬁes OSHA requirements and complies with

the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Stan-

dard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure A.)

Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the

following illustration. (See Figure A.)

OUTLETS

FIGURE A

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can

use either a two or three wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a

serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Figure B, next page.)

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.

For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure B.)

When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure

each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure B.)

If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate

amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

(See Figure B.)

SKU 93726 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7

If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suf-

ﬁx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualiﬁed elec-

trician before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or

wet areas.

RECOMMENDED MINIMUM WIRE GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS*

* Based on limiting the line voltage drop

to ﬁve volts at 150% of the rated amperes.
