When to charge the battery
New batteries are shipped in a low charged condition and
should be fully charged before Use.
Using the 3 – 5 hour charger the battery will be fully
charged in this period of time, or 1 hour using the fast
1 hour charger after the battery pack has been used and
charged a few times.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your 909 Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Important information – Product care
This blower uses Lithium Ion Battery Cells. Care
MUST be taken to ensure both the safety and life of the
pack is maintained. Ensure you have read all of the safety
notes in the previous pages before using the blower.
Safety devices and circuitry for this tool are located in
the battery pack of this tool. The battery pack is a vital
component, not just for the power source, but also for
the full safety control for both the charging and also the
tool operation. Treat the battery pack with care and within
the guidelines of this manual. If the pack does become
immersed in water or any fluids, or is subject to a severe
drop etc, or it does not operate within the guidelines of
this manual, immediately STOP using the battery pack
and have it checked.
As mentioned above the battery pack is an integral
component of this tool and it is fitted with thermal safety
devices. Running the blower at close to maximum load, or
continual resetting of the overload will cause the battery
pack to over heat. When a preset cell temperature is
detected, the battery pack will automatically STOP
operating and will not restart until the battery pack has
cooled to a safe level.
In this condition, DO NOT force cool the pack by placing in
a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “ Overload ” section
in this manual.
Another feature of the blower/battery pack is the
low
voltage cut out feature. This feature operates when the
voltage drops below a pre set value. When this occurs the
tool will automatically stop operating. To correct the situation
you need to either insert another charged battery into the
blower or recharge the existing battery, and then proceed
with the blower application.
Note: Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without
either recharging the battery or installing a battery with
charge will lead to the blower restarting and then stopping
again after only a few seconds of operation.
These safety devices have been fitted for the safety,
reliability and life of the tool.
