PRODUCT SAFETY

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to this chemical: work in a well- ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and Di (2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go towww.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

FOR ALL APPLIANCES

1. Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t use appliances in damp or wet locations.

2. Don’t Use In Rain.

3. Keep Children Away – All visitors should be kept at a distance from the work area.

4. Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
   They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair
   covering to contain long hair.

5. Use Safety Glasses – Always use a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

6. Use Right Appliance – Do not use an appliance for any job except that for which it is intended.

7. Don’t Force Appliance – It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.

8. Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

9. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate appliances when you are tired.

10. Store Idle Appliances Indoors – When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or locked-up places – out of reach of children.

11. Maintain Appliance With Care – Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

12. Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
    Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

FOR ALL BATTERY-OPERATED GARDENING APPLIANCES

1.  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to the battery pack, picking up, or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that has the switch on invites accidents.

2. Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.

3. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

4. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

5. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

7. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.

8. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 266 °F (130 °C) may cause
   explosion.

9. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

BEFORE OPERATION
Charging the battery pack

NOTE:

• The batteries are shipped uncharged.
  Each battery must be fully charged before the first use.

• Always fully charge the two batteries at the same time. More details can be found in the charger’s manual.
  WARNING!   The charger and battery pack are specially designed to work together, so do not attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into your charger or battery pack connections because an electrical failure and hazard will occur.

| See Fig. A1
Checking the battery condition
NOTE:   Fig. A2 only applies to the battery pack with battery indicator light.| See Fig. A2

Installing & removing the battery pack
NOTE:

• This machine will only run when 2 batteries are installed. It is recommended to use the same two batteries and charge the two batteries at the same time.
  When you use two batteries with different power, the machine will only run to the level of the lowest charged battery.

| See Fig. B, C
Battery indicator light See details in BATTERY STATUS part

IMPORTANT:
When only one light is illuminated, your battery is overly discharged, even though the machine may still be capable to work. Continuing to operate your machine with the battery in this discharged condition may reduce the life and performance of your battery. When no light is illuminated, at least one battery is not fully installed or the battery may be defective, please double- check the batteries are fully seated in position.

| See Fig. D
ASSEMBLY

Airspeed mode
NOTE: The blower is in the airspeed mode for default assembly.
NOTE: The blower has two working modes: airspeed mode and air volume mode.  To change modes, depress the nozzle release button and slide backward for airspeed mode. Slide forward for air volume mode. Choose a suitable model according to your work:
– AIRSPEED MODE offers a high-speed, concentrated airflow for sweeping smaller areas, clearing debris out of
the grass, or dislodging heavy or wet leaves.
– AIR VOLUME MODE offers a high volume of mass airflow to cover a larger area or on hard surfaces.

| See Fig. E
Air volume mode| See Fig. F, G
OPERATION
Starting & Stopping
WARNING! The tool runs for a few seconds after it has been switched off. Let the motor come to a complete standstill before setting the tool down.| See Fig. H
Adjusting the blowing speed/air volume with a 2-speed switch
USER TIPS
– Hold the blower tube approximately 8” above the ground when operating the tool.
