The WORX WX094 / WX094.X 3-speed Workshop Blower is a cordless, battery-operated tool designed for blowing dry leaves in private households and as a hobby device in the garden. It is intended for residential use only and for outdoor applications to move yard debris.

Function Description:

The blower operates by generating a powerful airflow through a blower tube, allowing users to clear away dry leaves and other light debris. It features a 3-speed variable speed dial, enabling adjustment of the airflow intensity to suit different tasks. The tool is part of the WORX PowerShare battery platform, meaning its battery pack can be interchanged with other compatible WORX tools.

  • Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair away from air inlets.
  • A face mask is recommended to prevent dust irritation.
  • Ensure guards and shields are in place and functional.
  • Keep children, bystanders, and pets away from the operating area.
  • Do not overreach and maintain proper footing and balance.

  • Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
  • Remove the battery pack before any adjustments, servicing, or maintenance.
  • Operate the appliance only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Battery Charging: Battery packs are shipped uncharged and must be charged before first use. Users should refer to the charger's manual for detailed instructions. Only chargers specified by WORX should be used.
• Battery Storage: When not in use, the battery pack should be kept away from other metal objects to prevent short-circuiting. Avoid exposing battery packs to heat, fire, direct sunlight, microwaves, or high pressure. Store battery packs out of reach of children.
• Environmental Disposal: Batteries should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and may enter the water cycle if disposed improperly. Li-Ion batteries are marked for separate collection and recycling to reduce environmental impact.
