English
Blocking the cordless blower blast port or air
intake will cause an abnormal increase in the
motor's RPM and might damage the vanes
on the inner section of the unit or cause
injuries. The motor might also overheat and
cause a fire.
4. Do not use when your field of vision is limited,
such as at night or in bad weather. Similarly,
do not use during rain or on wet ground, such
as after a rain.
The footing at such times is poor and may
cause you to lose your balance and have an
accident.
5. Do not use in locations where inflammable
materials such as lacquer, paint, benzene,
thinner or gasoline are present. Also do not
let items such as lighted cigarette butts be
suctioned inside at such locations.
Explosion or fires might result.
6. Do not use in environments subject to heavy
doses of chemicals, etc.
Plastic sections such as the fan on the inner
section of the unit might weaken and break,
and injuries might occur.
7. If you notice the unit is operating poorly or
making abnormal noises, immediately stop
using and shut off the power switch. Request
an inspection and repair from the dealer
where you purchased the unit or a Hitachi
Authorized Service Center.
Continuing to use while operating abnormally
might cause injuries.
8. If the unit is mistakenly dropped or strikes
another object, make a thorough check of the
unit for cracks, breakage or deformation, etc.
Injuries might occur if the unit has cracks,
breakage or deformation.
9. Do not use near objects generating high heat
such as stoves.
Fires might occur if used near such locations.
10. Make a thorough inspection if using the
cordless blower to blow or clean viscous
powder or dust particles.
Powder or dust particles might be suctioned
in and adhere internally, causing the fan to
break or injuries to occur.
11. Do not leave on locations such as benches or
floors while still rotating.
Injuries might occur.
12. Dust produced while using the machine may
be harmful to your health. When a lot of dust
is produced during use, wear a dust mask.

13. Do not take your eyes off of the tip of the
extension nozzle or the blast port as you
move forward slowly. Never work in a
backward direction. Doing so may result in
falling down.
14. Never allow anyone to approach the operator
of the machine closer than 15 meters, so they
are not hit by flying objects. Similarly, always
maintain this distance from other objects,
such as cars or windows, so they are not
damaged by flying objects.
15. Never point toward people or animals. The
machine blows small objects at a high velocity
and can cause injury.
16. Never operate from an unstable footing, such
as when on a ladder or step ladder.
Doing so may cause an injury.
17. Precautions during transport
• Release the switch on the body of the machine
and remove the battery.
• Carry the machine by the handle on its body.
• When transporting it via vehicle, take
appropriate steps to prevent it from falling
over or being damaged.
18. Be careful of your footing while working
when it is slippery, such as in wet areas, in
the snow or ice, and on slopes or irregular
surfaces.
19. Take note that when working in dry
conditions with lots of fine particles, it may
build up static electricity and discharge
unexpectedly.
20. ALWAYS wear ear protectors when using the
blower for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
21. When working at elevated locations, clear the
area of all other people and be aware of
conditions below you.
22. NEVER touch moving parts.
NEVER place your hands, fingers or other
body parts near the blower's moving parts.
23. NEVER use a blower for applications other
than those specified.
NEVER use a blower for applications other
than those specified in the Instruction Manual.
24. Handle blower correctly.
Operate the blower according to the
instructions provided herein. Do not drop or
throw the blower. NEVER allow the blower
