Caution! The equipment is supplied without batteries and without a charger is allowed to be used only with the lithium-ion batteries of the Power-X-Change series! Power-X-Change

20 V, 4.0 Ah, 10 lithium-ion cells The lithium-ion batteries of the Power-X-Change series are allowed to be charged only with the Power-X charger. Warning! Always remove the batteries before making ad- justments to the equipment.

5.1 Fitting the blower tube (Fig. 3a/b)

Plug together the blower tube (Fig. 1) and the motor unit (Item 3). Then lock the tube in place by twisting it clockwise. Important! The tube must be twisted as far as the stop to ensure that it is locked securely.

5.2 Fitting the battery pack (Fig. 4)

Press the pushlock button of the battery pack as shown in Fig. 4 C and push the battery pack into the mount provided. When the battery pack is po- sitioned as in Fig. 4b, make sure that the pushlock button latches in place! To remove the battery pack, proceed in reverse order. Important! Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full batteries. Always charge the two batteries simultaneously. The equipment‘s operating time depends on the Anl_GALB_E_40_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 16Anl_GALB_E_40_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 16 20.10.2017 11:53:5520.10.2017 11:53:55GB

battery with the lower charge level. The two batte- ries must always be fully charged before use.

5.3 Charging the battery (Fig. 5)

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.

Do this by pressing the pushlock button.

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as

that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (D) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to blink.

3. Insert the battery pack (E) into the charger

a table with an explanation of the LED indica- tor on the charger. The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

whether there is voltage at the socket outlet

whether there is good contact at the charging contacts If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

and the battery pack to our customer service center. To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser- vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless leaf blower drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will cause it to develop a defect.

5.4 Fitting the harness (Fig. 3c/3d)

Fasten the harness (Fig. 3c / Item 4) to the eyelet (Fig. 3c / Item A) on the motor housing. Place the harness over your shoulder and adjust the length to that you can guide the equipment comfortably. Caution: Carry the harness so that the click fastener is always within reach. In an emer- gency you can quickly remove the equipment by opening the click fastener (Fig. 3d / Item B).

6.1 Switching on the equipment (Fig. 6)

To switch off, let go of the On/Off switch.

Channel the air stream forward and walk slowly to blow foliage or garden refuse into a pile or to clear out hard-to-reach places. 6.2. Speed control (Fig. 6) The equipment is fi tted with an electronic speed controller. To use it, turn the speed controller (Fig. 6/Item 6) to the desired position. Use the equip- ment only with the speed which is actually requi- red and never let it run at a speed which is faster than necessary.

6.3 Turbo mode (Fig. 6)

If you need more blowing power, e.g. to blow away piles of wet foliage, you can press the turbo button (Fig. 6 / Item 5). Pressing the turbo button will raise the speed and therefore the blowing po- wer temporarily. Important: To reduce noise and prolong bat- tery operating time, never actuate the turbo button longer than necessary.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger! Always remove the batteries before you carry out any cleaning work.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

For safety reasons the charging is performed less quickly and takes more than 1 hour. The reasons can be: - The battery pack has not been used for a very long time or an already fl at battery was further discharged (exhaustive discharge). - The battery pack temperature is outside the ideal range (between 25° C and 45° C). Action: Wait for the charging to be completed; you can still continue to charge the battery pack. Flashing Flashing Fault Charging is no longer possible. The battery pack is defective. Action: Never charge a defective battery pack. Take the battery pack out of the charger. On On Temperature fault The battery pack is too hot (e.g. due to direct sunshine) or too cold (below 0° C).
