WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury from unintended
activation or unauthorized use, switch off the motor and
remove the battery before transporting or putting the blower

To switch the blower off:
► Release the trigger switch and trigger switch lockout so
that the trigger switch springs back to the locked position.

blocked by the trigger switch lockout. Activation of the
blower is also electronically blocked by the retaining latch
once the LEDs stop flashing (after approximately
5 seconds).
