WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this product or create acces-
sories not recommended for use with this blower. Any
such alteration or modification is misuse and could result
in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious
personal injury.

ASSEMBLY
To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the
tool when assembling parts.
This product is intended for blower use only and is not
designed for vacuum use. Do not attempt to remove the
main reducer housing that covers the impellers. Removal
of the main reducer housing will expose the moving
impellers and contact with these impeller blades can
result in serious personal injury.
INSTALLING THE BLOWER TUBE
See Figures 2 - 3.
 With the tab facing down, slide the blower tube over the
outlet on the blower housing.
 Push the blower tube on the blower housing outlet until
the tab locks into place through the notch in the blower
housing.
 To remove the tube, depress the tab and slide tube off.
 To install the speed tip: Align the tab on the speed tip
with the notch on the blower tube and press together
until the tab locks into place.
 To remove the speed tip: depress the tab and slide the
speed tip off.
NOTE: When the speed tip is installed the unit can generate
air speeds of 190 mph. To reduce air velocity and increase air
volume, cut the speed tip along one of the cut lines. Cut the
line closest to the end of the nozzle for a smaller increase in air
volume and the line farthest from the end for a greater increase
in air volume. Cut portions of the tube cannot be reassembled.
