1. Unpacking (See Fig. A)
   Unpack all parts and lay them on a flat, stable surface. You will find an upper blower tube (3), a lower blower tube (2) with a nozzle (1) are provided with the main machine. You will need to assemble the upper blower tube (3), and the lower blower tube (2) with the nozzle (1) together for use.

2. Assembling and disassembling the upper blower tube (3) (See Fig. B1, B2)
   To assemble, press the tube release button (8) and slide the upper blower tube (3) into the motor housing (6). Ensure the hole (a) on the upper blower tube (3) matches up with the tube release button (8) on the motor housing (6).
   To disassemble, press the tube release button (8), and remove the upper tube (3) from the motor housing (6).
   NOTE: Do not try to separate the tubes by force or by using tools.
   

3. Assembling the lower blower tube (2) (See Fig. C1, C2)

• Hold the blow tube approximately 8” (20.3cm) above the ground when operating the blower.
• Use a sweeping motion from side to side. Advance slowly keeping the accumulated debris/leaves in front of you.
• After blowing the debris/leaves into a pile, it is easy to dispose of the pile.

Caution!

Residual risk
Even if you use the 1100W blower properly per the instructions provided and follow all safety notes, there are always residual risks. The following risk may occur:

• Risk of blowing: Do not direct the output of the blower tube at any person, the operator, or any animal. Never place hands in front of the nozzle, direct blowing away from self or others, and always operate in an area clear of all persons, pets and obstacles. Do not operate the product when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or drugs,  stay alert at all times.
  Reduce residual risks by using the 1100W blower with care and following all safety notes as well as other instructions.
