In order to avoid personal injury and the risk of fire and electric shock, remove the battery pack before adjusting, inspecting,
or cleaning the blower.
Cleaning
Remove the battery pack.
1. Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air vents using compressed air or a vacuum. Keep the air vents free of obstruc-
tions, sawdust, and wood chips. Do not spray, wash, or immerse the air vents in water.
2. Wipe off the housing and the plastic components using a moist, soft cloth.
Do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic housing or plastic components. Certain household cleaners may

Battery Pack

• Recharge the battery pack whenever there is less power.
Do not allow the battery pack to become completely discharged.
