The Radley Cordless Blower/Sweeper is a versatile outdoor power tool designed for clearing leaves, grass, weeds, and other lawn debris. It operates on a 20V Max Li-ion battery, offering cordless convenience for various outdoor tasks.
Function Description:
The primary function of this device is to generate a high-velocity airflow to sweep away debris from surfaces. It is designed for single-handed operation, making it easy to maneuver. The blower is intended for use in clearing light to moderate debris from paved surfaces, lawns, and other outdoor areas. It is not recommended for sweeping hard objects like pebbles, stones, glass, or metal, as these can be thrown with force, causing injury or property damage. The tool is equipped with a nozzle assembly that can be adjusted to direct airflow effectively.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Battery Voltage: 20V 2.0 Ah Li-ion. The maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a load) is 20 volts, with a nominal voltage of 18 volts.
- Air Speed: 130 MPH (miles per hour), providing strong airflow for efficient clearing.
- Blower/Sweeper Tube Length: 18.5 inches (470 mm).
- Noise Level: 92 dBA (maximum), indicating the sound output during operation.
- Weight: 3 lbs 9 oz, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Charger: Class 2 charger, capable of fully charging the battery in approximately 70 minutes.
- Replacement Battery Part Number: 5350-547.
- Replacement Charger Part Number: DL125481.
- Charger Input: Standard 120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet.
- Warranty: 3-Year warranty on material or workmanship defects, excluding expendable parts like blades, brushes, belts, light bulbs, and batteries. The warranty is void if the product is used for commercial or rental purposes.
Usage Features:
- Cordless Operation: Powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery, offering freedom of movement without the need for an electrical cord.
- Battery Charge Status Indicator: The battery pack includes LED lights to indicate the remaining charge level (1/3 or less, 1/3 - 2/3, 2/3-Fully charged). This can be checked while the battery is in or out of the tool (but not in the charger).
- Easy Battery Installation/Removal: The battery pack slides into the tool handle and locks into place with a "click" when fully installed. A release button allows for easy removal.
- Nozzle Assembly: The blower features a two-part nozzle (front and rear sections) that assembles and attaches to the blower intake. The nozzle release button ensures secure locking.
- ON/OFF Switch: A simple slide switch controls the power, moving forward to turn ON and backward to turn OFF.
- Optimal Blowing Technique: For best results, the blower should be operated below waist height, with the nozzle angled less than 45° to the ground and close to the surface. A side-to-side sweeping motion is recommended for clearing large areas.
- Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes wearing CSA approved eye protection (CSA Z94.3 or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1), ear protection, a face mask (especially in dusty environments), nonslip gloves, sturdy clothing (long sleeves and pants), and nonslip safety boots. It also warns against operating barefoot or with open-toed shoes.
- Bystander Safety: Keep children, bystanders, pets, and other animals at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from the operating blower. Turn the blower OFF immediately if approached.
- Dust and Debris Management: Avoid blowing near open windows, doors, or bystanders to prevent exposure to hazardous dust. Work with the wind to minimize dust exposure.
- Circuit Protection: The charger is designed for 120 V AC, 15 A circuits protected by a time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker.
- Environmental Considerations: The battery pack contains chemicals and metals that are harmful to the environment and should be recycled or disposed of properly, not in household garbage or landfill sites.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning the Air Intake: Regularly check and clean the air intake grille to ensure unrestricted airflow to the blower fan. The manual advises turning the blower onto its side and carefully brushing off debris.
- Battery Removal for Cleaning: Always remove the battery from the blower before cleaning debris from the intake grille.
- Cleaning Materials: Use a soft dry brush or a dry rag to remove debris. NEVER use water, other liquids, or chemical solvents to clean plastic parts, as these can damage the motor, screen, or plastic components.
- Avoid Inserting Objects: NEVER insert screwdrivers or other small tools into the intake grille, as this can damage the grille or the blower fan.
- Loose Debris Removal: After cleaning the grille, turn the blower onto its left side and shake out any loose debris that may have fallen into the blower fan.
- Lubrication: All bearings in the tool are pre-lubricated for the life of the unit under normal conditions, so no further lubrication is required.
- Servicing: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts to avoid hazards or product damage. Any electrical repairs should be performed by a qualified technician. Modifying the tool or creating accessories is not recommended and will void the warranty.
- Battery Pack Preparation for Recycling: Upon removal, cover the battery pack terminals with electrical tape to prevent short circuits. Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack.
