
at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle.
Connecting the blow tube (fig. C)

the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the
battery is fully seated in the charger.


8 hour charger
The battery will be fully charged in approx. 8 hours. It can be
removed at any time or left in the connected charger indefinitely.
1 hour charger
Check if the red charging indicator (6) lights up. If the

green end of charge indicator (7) lights up now instead,
the battery is too hot and cannot be charged. If this
happens, remove the battery from the charger, let the
battery cool down for approx. 1 hour and re-insert it.
After approx. 1 hour of charging, the red charging indicator will
stop lighting and the green end of charge indicator will light
up. The battery is now fully charged.
Remove the battery from the charger.

After blowing the debris/leaves into a pile, it is easy to

dispose of the pile.
Cleaning the tool
