TO START/STOP THE BLOWER (FIG. 6)
NOTICE: Before switching on the blower,
ensure that it is not in contact with any object.
The blower can be locked at any speed with the
speed dial.
Turn the speed dial clockwise to start the
•
blower. The air speed will increase as the dial
is rotated clockwise. Stop turning the dial as
soon as the blower reaches desired speed.
The blower will continue running at this speed
until the speed dial is turned again in either
direction.
To decrease the air speed, turn the speed dial
•
counterclockwise.
Keep turning the speed dial counterclockwise
•
to the off position to stop the blower.
Turbo Button
Depress and hold down the turbo button while
working to temporarily increase the air speed to
the maximum level. The blower will resume the
previous speed when the turbo button is released.
NOTE: The turbo button can also be used to
start the blower without using the speed dial. The
blower will run at the maximum speed for as long
as the turbo button is depressed.
WARNING
during work breaks and after finishing work.
TO OPERATE AS A BLOWER
While working, always hold the blower by the
•
handle.
To keep the debris from scattering, blow
•
around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never
blow directly into the center of a pile.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of
•
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
•
blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces if water is available.
Always remove the battery
pack from the blower

Conserve water by using power blowers
•
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows,
•
or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely
away.
After using blowers or other equipment, clean
•
up! Dispose of debris properly.
