INSTALLING THE POWER CELL – cont’d 

 
1.  Slide the Power Cell into the 

matching cavity (3) in the rear of 
the upper cowling (4). 

 

NOTE:

 Make sure you push the Power 

Cell fully into the

 

cavity. The locking 

latch (5) will click when the Power Cell 
is properly installed. 
 
2.  Pull outward on the Power Cell to 

verify that it is being held in place 
by the locking latch. 

 
To remove the Power Cell for 
recharging or storage, press the locking 
latch toward the Power Cell. While 
holding the locking latch toward the 
Power Cell, pull the Power Cell out of 
the tool. 
 

OPERATING POSITION 

 

This blower is designed to be used with 
both hands. Control over the blower will 
be easier when holding it with one hand 
on the forward handle and the other 
hand on the rear handle to operate the 
switches (Fig. 5). The blower is well 
balanced and can be used by holding it 
with only one hand on the rear handle 
with the same hand controlling the 
switches (Fig. 6). 
 

       WARNING:

 Always wear 

appropriate personal protective 
equipment.  
 
Operate the blower below your waist 
height at all times. The most effective 
position for blowing is to hold the blower 
at an angle of less than 45° to the 
ground and with the nozzle close to the 
ground. Using a side to side sweeping 
motion will make clearing large areas 
easier.
