For risks of injury do not use the battery as a power source for other products.
Only use the battery for the GARDENA product intended.
Only charge and use the battery in ambient temperatures of between 0 °C and
40 °C. Allow battery to cool down after long periods of use.
Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage or ageing (brittleness).
Only use it in perfect condition.
Do not stow or transport the battery above 45 °C or in direct sunlight. Ideally, the
battery should be stored below 25 °C so that self-discharge is low.
Do not expose the battery to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a battery will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Keep battery in order (clean) especially air vents.
If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time (winter period) reload the
battery to avoid a deep discharge.
Do not store while still attached to a tool, this prevents misuse and accidents.
Do not store the battery in places where static electricity is present.
Do not use the battery charger outdoors.
V
Protect battery from heat and fire.
DANGER! This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This
field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical implants.
To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or kill, we recommend
persons with medical implants to speak with their physician and the medical
implant manufacturer before you operate the product.
DANGER! Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the poly-
bag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.

4. OPERATION
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Do not use the unit without the tube properly attached
to avoid flying debris and/or impeller contact which can
cause serious injury.
v
Always wear gloves and use eye protection to prevent rocks
or debris from being blown or ricocheting into the eyes and
face which can result in blindness or serious injury.
Starting the blower [ Fig. O1 ]:
To start:
1. Push the battery onto the handle (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
2. Move the ON / OFF switch
0
to the ON (I) position.
To stop:
1. Move the ON/OFF switch
0
to the OFF (0) position.
2. Remove the battery from the handle (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
Work positions [ Fig. O2 ]:
Use your unit as a blower for sweeping debris or grass clippings from
driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc. Also, for blowing grass clippings, straw,
or leaves into piles, or removing debris from corners, around joints, or
between bricks.
Direct air flow by directing the blower tube down or to one side.
Always work away from solid objects such as walks, large stones,
vehicles, and fences.
Clean corners by starting in corners and moving outward. This will help
prevent an accumulation of debris which could fly into your face. Be care-
ful when working near plants. The force of the air could damage tender
plants.
5. STORAGE
To put into storage [ Fig. A1 ]:
Store unit with battery removed, well out of the reach of children.
1. Stop unit and remove battery (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
2. Charge battery; this will increase the life of the battery.
3. Allow motor to cool before storing or transporting.
4. Store unit with all guards in place. Position unit so that any sharp object
cannot accidentally cause injury.
Overwintering:
Prepare unit for storage at the end of the season or if it will not be used for
30 days or more.
If your blower is to be stored for a period of time:
1. Stop unit and remove battery (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
2. Charge battery; this will increase the life of the battery.
3. Clean the entire unit before lengthy storage.
4. Use a soft brush to clean air vents and air inlet of debris.
Do not use water.
5. Store your unit in a well ventilated area and covered, if possible,
to prevent dust and dirt accumulation. Do not cover with plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe and may cause condensation and eventual
rust or corrosion.
6. Check entire unit for loose screws.
Replace any damaged, worn, or broken parts.
7. Remove blower tube for easier storage.
