Operation - Gardena PowerJet 18V P4A Betriebsanleitung

v Only use the battery with products of the POWER FOR ALL system
manufacturers. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery
against dangerous overload.
v Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
v The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before
using your power tool for the first time.
v Keep battery packs out of the reach of children.
v Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
v In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. The battery can set alight or explode.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you expe-
rience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
v If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may
be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoid-
ed. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid
comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
v If the battery is damaged liquid can be ejected and cover nearby
surfaces. Check affected parts.
Clean these parts or change them if necessary.
v Do not short-circuit the battery pack. When the 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 con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
v The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or
screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
v Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should
only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g. against continuous intense
v
sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
v Only operate and store the battery at an ambient temperature
between – 20 °C and + 50 °C.
Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for example.
At temperatures of < 0 °C some devices may experience a loss of power.
v Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature which is between
0 °C and + 45 °C. Charging outside of this temperature range can increase
the risk of damage to the battery and pose a fire hazard.
Electrical safety
DANGER! Cardiac arrest!
This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This field
may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical
implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or
kill, we recommend persons with medical implants to speak with their
physician and the medical implant manufacturer before you operate the
product.
DANGER! Risk of explosion!
Do not operate the product 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.
When blowing large quantities of dust-laden material, electrostatic
charges can occur which can discharge suddenly under unfavourable
(e. g. very dry) ambient conditions.
Only use the battery product between 0 °C bis 40 °C.
Do not use under wet conditions.
Protect the battery contacts from moisture.
Personal safety
DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the poly-
bag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the
product.
Operate the product only in daylight or in good artificial light.
Walk, do not run.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the product is in safe working
condition.
Avoid using the product in bad weather conditions especially when there is a risk
of lightning.
Do not wear clothing that could be sucked in by the air intake opening
(e. g. scarf, tie, jewellery).
Tie long hair together and secure hair (e. g. with helmet, cap, headscarf).
Warning: Do not use the product without the tubes properly attached to avoid
flying debris contact which can cause serious injury.

Always wear gloves and use eye protection to prevent rocks or debris from
being blown or ricocheting into the eyes and face which can result in blindness
or serious injury.
Be careful during adjustment of the product to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving and fixed parts of the product, while assembling the blower parts.
Do not use the product if any part is damaged or broken or if any of the screws
are loose. Have it repaired by an authorised repairer.
Do not use blower near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays,
etc. Proper use of the blower will help avoid spreading fire.
Never place objects inside the blower tubes; always direct the blowing debris
away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automobiles,
walls, etc.
The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which
can hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.
Never use for spreading chemicals, fertilisers, or any other substances. This will
prevent the spreading of toxic materials.
To prevent dust irritation, the use of a dust mask is recommended.
If the product doesn't stop due to a malfunction immediately disconnect the
battery and contact the GARDENA Service.
Do not walk backwards whilst operating with your product, you could trip.
Risk of stumbling.
Warning! When wearing hearing protection, and due to the noise produced by
the product, the operator may not notice persons approaching.
This product is intended for outdoor use only.
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.
Do not disassemble the product further than the delivery status.

3. OPERATION

DANGER! Risk of physical injury!
Risk of injury if the product starts accidentally and hair,
clothing or loose objects are sucked in.
v Wait for the rotor blades to stop and remove the battery
before you adjust or transport the product.
To charge the battery [ Fig. O1 / O2 / O3 ]:
CAUTION!
v Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must
match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.
For the GARDENA Battery Blower Art. 14890-55 there is no battery
and no charger in the scope of delivery.
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condition of the
battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal
charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully
charged when it is stored in the charger.
