Care and maintenance
Before each use check the leaf blower for any obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts.
Do not use the leaf blower if there is any sign of damage.
Check the outer sections of the body for any damage and if present get a
qualified person to replace.
Carry out the following maintenance and cleaning work regularly:
•
Every time you use the leaf blower clean all parts especially the ventilation
slots. Remove any moisture, debris or dust and store in a clean dry
environment.
•
Do not use or submerge the leaf blower in water or use cleaning agents or
solvents, these may damage the leaf blower.
•
Do not try to service the leaf blower yourself, always take it to a qualified
repair person.
Li-Ion battery care & maintenance
Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries require routine maintenance and care in
their use and handling. Read and follow the guidelines to safely use Lithium-
Ion batteries and achieve the maximum battery life span.
•
Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in
the machine or in storage. When a battery has been unused for 3
months or more, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the
battery as appropriate.
•
The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two years or
300 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period
of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged
again.
•
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will
gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity
(aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it
will power the product (run time) decreases.
•
Lithium-Ion batteries continue to slowly discharge (self-discharge) when
not in use or while in storage. Routinely check the battery’s charge
status.
