TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACKS
See Figure 7.
The blower has active battery ports on the left and right
side of the motor housing. Only one battery pack needs to
be installed for operation. If two battery packs are installed,
each time the blower is turned on, it will pull energy from
the battery pack with the most charge.
WARNING:
Always remove battery packs from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery packs will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
To install:
 Place a battery pack in the blower. Align the raised rib on
the battery pack with groove in the blower's battery port.
WARNING:
Make sure the latch on the bottom of the battery pack
snaps in place and the battery pack is fully seated and
secure in the blower battery port before beginning
operation. Failure to securely seat the battery pack could
cause the battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious
personal injury.
NOTICE:
When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib
on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the tool and
latches into place properly. Improper installation of the
battery pack can cause damage to internal components.
 Repeat process to install second battery pack.
To remove:
 Locate the latches on the bottom of the battery packs
and depress to release the battery packs from the blower.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,
switch should always be in the OFF position when not
in use or carrying at your side. Remove battery packs
when transporting or carrying blower to avoid accidental
starting, which could result in serious injury.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's
manuals for your battery packs and charger.
OPERATION
STARTING AND STOPPING
See Figure 8.
 To start the blower, depress the switch trigger.
 To stop the blower, release the switch trigger.
TURBO BOOST
See Figure 8.
 While the switch trigger is depressed, press the turbo boost to increase the air flow to the maximum velocity.
NOTE: The blower will return to the previous speed when
the button is released.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 9.
NOTICE:
Always operate your product in compliance with all
applicable laws and ordinances.
 Slip arm through harness strap and onto shoulder, then
repeat for the other shoulder. Adjust the straps to a
comfortable position. Refer to Adjusting Harness Straps
earlier in this manual. Remove unit for starting.
 The unit should be operated on the operator's right side
as shown.
 Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only —
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local
ordinances.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible speed to do the
job.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
 Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and
gardens.
 Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
 Use the nozzle for larger volume, so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
