WARNING
Never operate your blower if it is modified, damaged, 
improperly adjusted or maintained, not completely and 
securely assembled or not functioning properly, @ 5.5. To 
reduce the risk of personal injury, always wear proper 
clothing and protective apparel, including proper eye 
protection, when operating your blower, @ 5.4.
Before switching on:
► Make sure you have a secure and firm footing.
► Stand upright.
► Always operate the blower with your right hand  firmly on 
the control handle. If using the hip pad or comfort hip pad, 
always operate the blower with your right hand firmly on 
the gripping surface.
To switch the blower on:
► Depress and hold the trigger switch lockout (1).
► While holding the trigger switch lockout, push the retaining 
latch (2) forward with your thumb and release it.
The LEDs indicate the current power level.
► Squeeze the trigger switch (3) with your index finger.
The blower will activate.
The motor will not switch on unless the trigger switch lockout 
is depressed, the retaining latch has been pushed forward  
and the trigger switch has been pressed.
The further the trigger switch is depressed, the stronger the 
blowing force.
If the trigger switch and the trigger switch lockout are 
released, the LEDs will remain flashing for approximately 
5 seconds. As long as the LEDs are flashing, the blower can 
again be switched on without pushing the retaining latch 
forward.
