Important Safety Instructions - Ryobi P2107 Manuel D'utilisation

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS BLOWER. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
 Know your power blower. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
 Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle,
close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges
or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
 Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
 This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use
only identical replacement parts. See instructions for
Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
 Do not use on wet surfaces.
 Do not charge the unit outdoors.
 Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one blower may create a risk of injury when
used on another blower.
 Do not handle plug, blower, charger, including charger
plug, and charger terminals with wet hands.
 Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
 Turn off all controls before unplugging or removing
battery.
 Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
 Do not operate blowers in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Blowers create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at least 50 ft.
away while operating a blower. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
 A battery operated blower with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery.
 Use battery operated blower only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
 Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a
service center.
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power blower.
Do not use blower while tired, upset, or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating blowers may result in serious
personal injury.
 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.
 Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the off
position before plugging in the cord or inserting battery
pack. Carrying blowers with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a blower with the switch
on invites accidents.
 Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable
support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the blower in unexpected situations.
 Do not use blower if switch does not turn it on or off.
A blower that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect Power-Disconnect battery pack or power
cord from blower and place the switch in the off
position before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the blower. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the blower
accidentally.
 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 terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
 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
