OPERATION

TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
To install:
 Place the battery pack in the blower. Align the raised rib
on the battery pack with groove in the blower's battery
port.
Make sure the latch on the bottom of the battery pack
snaps in place and the battery pack is fully seated and
secure in the blower battery port before beginning opera-
tion. Failure to securely seat the battery pack could cause
the battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib
on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the tool and
latches into place properly. Improper installation of the
battery pack can cause damage to internal components.
To remove:
 Locate the latch on the bottom of the battery pack and
depress to release the battery pack from the blower.
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,

when transporting or carrying blower to avoid accidental
starting, which could result in serious injury.
