TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACKS
See Figure 7.
The blower has active battery ports on the left and right
side of the motor housing. Only one battery pack needs to
be installed for operation. If two battery packs are installed,
each time the blower is turned on, it will pull energy from
the battery pack with the most charge.
WARNING:
Always remove battery packs from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery packs will prevent acci-
dental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
