Usage Features:
- Battery System: The blower operates on the STANLEY FATMAX V20 Lithium-Ion battery system. Batteries are inserted into the tool handle and secured with a lock. To remove, press the release button and pull the battery out.
- Battery State of Charge Indicator: Batteries include an indicator with a button (6a) to quickly view the remaining charge.
- Blow Tube Assembly: The blower requires assembly of an upper tube (4) and a lower tube (5). These tubes must be securely attached before operation, with an audible click indicating proper engagement. For safety, the tubes are not intended to be separated once assembled.
- Switching On/Off: The tool is turned on by depressing the variable speed trigger (1) and turned off by releasing it.
- Variable Speed Trigger (1): Allows for control over the blowing speed.
- Boost Button (2): Located on the tool handle, this button provides an immediate increase in power for clearing heavy debris. Operating in normal mode (without boost) extends runtime.
- Proper Hand Position: Always use both hands to grip the product firmly when switching on, with one hand on the main handle (3).
- Weather Guard: The product (excluding battery and charger) offers some protection against light splashing. However, it should never be submerged in liquid or used in the rain. The battery and charger do not have Weather Guard protection.
