Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Battery protection system

The battery cartridge is equipped with the protection system, which automatically cuts off the output power for its long service life.

The tool may stop during operation when the tool and/or battery are placed under the following situation. This is caused by the activation of protection system and does not show the tool trouble.

• When the tool is overloaded:
  At this time, press the "OFF" button and remove causes of overload and then press the "HIGH/LOW" button again to restart. When the tool does not work even after pressing the "HIGH/LOW" button, the battery power auto-stop is still at work. Charge the battery cartridge before use.
• When the remaining battery capacity becomes low: Recharge the battery cartridge.

Switch action (Fig. 2)

To start the tool, simply press the "HIGH/LOW" button. To switch off, press the "OFF" button. To change the tool speed, press the "HIGH/LOW" button. The first press on this button is for high speed and the second press for low speed and then each press on this button repeats the high/low speed cycle alternatively.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing the long nozzle (Fig. 3 & 4)

To install the long nozzle, push in onto the blower outlet of the tool all the way.

To remove the long nozzle, press its both buttons and with the buttons being pressed pull it out.

Installing the shoulder strap (Fig. 5)

Before use, adjust the length of strap so that it is easy to work with it.

OPERATION

Blowing (Fig. 6)

Hold the blower firmly with a hand and perform the blowing operation by moving it around slowly.

When blowing around a building, a big stone or a vehicle, direct the nozzle away from them.

When performing an operation in corner, start from the corner and then move to wide area.

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning (Fig. 7)

From time to time, wipe off the outside of the tool using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
