USE

ASSEMBLY AND LAYOUT
The blower is delivered disassembled from the factory.
Warning: When assembling and disassembling the blower, always make sure that it is switched off and the battery is removed.

• Carefully remove all parts from the package and inspect them for damage. It is forbidden to use a damaged product or a product with visible damage.
• To fold the blower so that you can use it, grasp the motor unit with one hand and the tube with the other.
• Press the release button and place the tube on the outlet of the motor unit so that the release button fits into the hole in the tube when it is released (Fig. A)
• Release the lock and check that it clicks, and the tube does not rotate and is straight.
• If you need to remove the tube, press the catch and pull the tube away from the outlet of the motor unit.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Warning: Only use the battery specified by the manufacturer as suitable or recommended for the type of blower. Using another battery can result in loss of warranty, damage to the product, damage to property, or a serious risk of injury or death.

Recommended types of batteries and chargers
The battery and charger are not included. Only use these recommended types of batteries and chargers.

Battery:

• AlzaTools 20LBP20V (model AT-20LBP20V)
• AlzaTools 40LBP20V (model AT-40LBP20V)

Charger:

• AlzaTools 35FCH20V (model AT-35FCH20V)
• AlzaTools 24FCH20V (model AT-24FCH20V)
• AlzaTools DCH20V (model AT-DCH20V)

Inserting and removing the battery
Follow the instructions, directions and warnings in the relevant operating instructions when handling the battery.
Before inserting or removing the battery, make sure that:

1. the blower is switched off;
2. the battery is fully charged.

Align the grooves in the battery compartment at the back of the blower with the slots on the battery and slide it into the blower until you hear a click (Fig. B).
If you need to remove the battery, press the button on the battery and pull it out of the blower (Fig. B). When inserting and removing, hold the blower and battery firmly to prevent damage from improper handling (e.g., falling).
Do not insert or remove the battery by force. If it cannot be easily removed, it is likely that it has not been inserted correctly. Contact an authorized service centre.

Charge status check
The battery is fitted with a charge status indicator (3 LEDs). To check the charge status, press the button on the side (Fig. C). If all LEDs are lit, the charge level is high. When two LEDs are lit, the battery is partially discharged. If only one LED is lit, the battery is discharged and must be recharged.

OPERATION

Intended use
This blower is designed to blow air from the tube, which removes unwanted material (e.g. leaves or twigs). The blower is intended for domestic use only. It is not intended for commercial use or use in an industrial environment.

Switching On/Off
Before switching on the blower, make sure that:

• It is correctly assembled;
• The battery is inserted correctly;
• The battery is fully charged.

Slide the switch forwards to switch on the blower; slide the switch backwards to switch off the blower (Fig. D). You may hear a click inside the blower as you move the switch. This is a normal occurrence.

Note: If you use the blower until the battery is discharged, let the blower cool down for at least 15 minutes before using it again with a second battery.

Use
Hold the blower firmly by the handle with one hand and switch it on.
Stand upright and stable when handling the blower. Move the blower slowly from side to side (Fig. E). Do not lean, lean forward or stand on one leg. Always be confident when standing on slopes and walking. Never run.
If you use the blower near buildings, cars, large stones, etc., always point the blower tube away from them.
If using the blower in a corner, point the blower tube directly into the corner, and then move back from the corner.
Warning: Do not place the blower on the ground while it is in operation. Dust or dirt can enter and damage the blower and result in injury.
Warning: Do not cover the ventilation holes (Fig. F). There is a risk of the motor unit overheating and irreversible damage.

Overload protection
If you use the blower or battery in a way that draws an abnormally high current, the blower will stop automatically without any indication. If this happens, slide the switch back to turn off the blower and stop the operation that caused it to overload. Then turn on the blower again.

Overheating protection
If the blower or battery overheats, the blower will stop automatically. If this happens, slide the switch back to turn off the blower and let the blower and battery cool down. Then turn on the blower again.

Protection against excessive discharge
If the charge level drops excessively, the blower will stop automatically. If this happens, slide the switch back to turn off the blower. Remove the battery and charge it.
Note: Overload, overheating and over-discharge protection are safety systems for the blower and battery, which protect them from damage. Do not attempt to bypass or modify these security fea-tures. There is a risk of serious injury or death.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Warning: Before any maintenance or cleaning of the blower, always make sure that it is switched off and the battery is removed.
The user must only carry out the maintenance and cleaning described in this manual. In the case of other maintenance, cleaning or adjustment, contact an authorized service centre.

• Clean the blower after each use. This will ensure its long life.
• Disassemble the blower and remove leaves, twigs, etc. from the tube. Make sure that the tube is clean.
• Wipe the motor unit with a clean, slightly damp cloth.
  Warning: Do not immerse any part of the blower in water or other liquids. Do not use a hose or pres-sure washer to clean the blower. Do not expose the blower to dripping or splashing water.

Remove any dirt from the ventilation holes. Use a dry cloth. Do not let any water enter the ventila-tion holes. There is a risk of damage to the motor unit.
Warning: Do not use petrol, thinner, alcohol or other similar substances for cleaning. There is a risk of damage to the surface finish, deformation or cracking.

Storage
Before storing, make sure that the blower is switched off, clean (especially the tube), and that the battery is removed from the motor unit.
Keep the blower in a dry, well-ventilated area out of the reach of children, pets and people who have not been instructed in the safe use of this product. Only store the blower inside a building.
Fully charge the battery and store it in a dry and well-ventilated area where the temperature will not fall below freezing for a long period of time. When stored for a long time, recharge the battery every three months to extend its life.
