POSSIBLE CAUSE
Recharge. See "Battery Pack and Charger".
Press the trigger lock-out before squeezing the
trigger switch. See "General Operation".
Press the battery pack into the battery port until it
clicks into place.
Remove the battery pack, remove debris from the
battery port and then clean the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth.
Allow the battery pack to warm or cool to within
the operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
Clear any debris from the vent to provide
unobstructed airflow to the variable trigger.
Clear debris from the intake screen.
Remove the battery, then remove the nozzle and
clear debris from the nozzle.
Have the blower inspected at an approved service
location.
The turbo button will not operate with a B500S
1.25Ah battery. Insert higher capacity battery pack
to operate turbo button.
This may occur when the blower is run
continuously or exposed to high ambient
temperatures. Allow the battery pack to reach
the acceptable temperature before charging. See
"Battery Pack and Charger".
Inspect the contacts on both the battery pack
and charger. If necessary, clean according to the
instructions in this manual. Reinsert battery pack
into the charger, making sure it is fully seated.
All batteries have a finite life. If the battery pack
is more than two years old or has been recharged
frequently, it may be time to replace it. Replace
only with the battery pack specified for this blower.
Have the function checked at an approved service
location.
