NOTE: The recharging time may vary according
to the ambient temperature.
4. Disconnect battery charger from the
receptacle.
CAUTION
Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by
pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing
from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.
5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull
out the battery from the battery charger.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool
becomes weaker, stop using the tool and
recharge its battery. If you continue to use
the tool and exhaust the electric current, the
battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot
immediately after use. If such a battery is
recharged immediately after use, its internal
chemical substance will deteriorate, and the
battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for
a while.
CAUTION
● When the battery charger has been
continuously used, the battery charger will
be heated, thus constituting the cause of the
failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next
charging.
Li-ion BATTERY
2.0 Ah
60 min.
● If the battery is recharged when it is warm
due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,
the pilot lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a
case, let the battery cool before charging.
● If the battery charger does not work while
the battery is mounted correctly, it is
probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.
●
When the pilot lamp flickers rapidly in red
(at 0.2–second intervals), check for and take
out any foreign objects in the charger's
battery installation hole. If there are no
foreign objects, it is probable that the battery
or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
BEFORE USE
Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of
debris and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure
that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
USING THE BLOWER
WARNING:
Do not use when your field of vision is poor,
such as at night or in inclement weather.
Do not use in the rain or on wet ground after
it has rained.
Always be careful of your footing when using
the blower so you don't slip and lose your
balance.
Do not use on steep slopes.
Pay attention to which way the blower is
pointed to avoid people and things that may
be broken easily, such as windows.
Be careful about working in confined spaces
or blowing into the wind to avoid flying
objects coming back and hitting you.
Do not get closer than 15 meters from others.
And when 2 or more people are working,
keep a distance of at least 15 meters from
each other.
When attaching or removing the extension
nozzle always release the switch and remove
the battery from the blower to prevent an
accident.
