Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery.
Installing the battery
•
Align the notches in the base of the blower operation
handle (5) with those of the battery (6) and slide the
battery (6) and blower together until the battery (6)
locks into place (see Fig. 2).
•
Do not use excessive force when inserting the battery
(6). If the battery (6) does not slide in easily, it is not
being inserted correctly and could cause damage to
the battery (6), battery terminals or the blower.
Caution:
Do not operate the on/off switch (4) whilst inserting the battery (6).
Removing the Battery
Pull down on the battery release button (7) and pull the
battery (6) away from the blower (See Fig. 3).
Getting the best performance from the battery
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of work
undertaken.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below
normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
•
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after
they are discharged.
•
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker
they lose their charge. If you store your battery for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong
battery life.
