Fitting and removing the battery (fig. B)
To fit the battery (4), line it up with the receptacle on the
tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until
the battery snaps into place.
To remove the battery, push the release button (7) while
at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle.
Connecting the blow tube (fig. C)
Blow tube must be assembled to the blow clamshell before use.
Align the circles (8) on the clamshell (9) and the tube (3).
Push the tube firmly onto the clamshell until the circles
click into place.
For storage the blow tube can be detached from the blow
clamshell by depressing the circles on either side and
gently sliding off the tube.
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
To charge the battery (4), remove it from the tool and
insert it into the charger (5). The battery will only fit into
the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the
battery is fully seated in the charger.
Plug in the charger.
1 hour charger
Check if the red charging indicator (6) lights up. If the
green end of charge indicator (7) lights up now instead,
the battery is too hot and cannot be charged. If this
happens, remove the battery from the charger, let the
battery cool down for approx. 1 hour and re-insert it.
After approx. 1 hour of charging, the red charging indicator will
stop lighting and the green end of charge indicator will light
up. The battery is now fully charged.
Remove the battery from the charger.
Switching on and off
To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch.
Hints for optimum use
Hold the blow tube approx. 180 mm above the ground
when operating the tool.
Use a sweeping motion from side to side. Advance slowly
keeping the accumulated debris/leaves in front of you (fig. D).
After blowing the debris/leaves into a pile, it is easy to
dispose of the pile.
Cleaning the tool
Clean the tool regularly.
Warning! Keep your product dry. Under no circumstances
spray with water.
To clean the tool, use only mild soap and a damp cloth.
Warning! Do not use any type of detergent, cleaner or solvent
which may contain chemicals that could seriously damage the
plastic.
Self lubricating bearings are used in your product,
therefore lubrication is not required.
