Use and care of the battery
Lithium-ion batteries have many advantages over other batteries and rechargeable batteries: high cell voltage (more volts), no memory effect and low self-discharge.
However, they pose a fire hazard if used improperly. Through proper disposal, valuable resources such as lithium, cobalt, manganese, silver or copper can be recovered.
In general, lithium batteries are considered safe when handled properly. Nevertheless, dangers can arise from mechanical damage, electrical faults and thermal effects.
- Lithium-ion batteries are safe when handled properly.
- However, they can cause fires if used and stored improperly.
- Do not use defective lithium ion batteries.
- Tape the poles during storage and disposal to prevent short circuits.
- Mechanical damage can cause gaseous or liquid substances to escape, which can be highly irritating, flammable or even toxic.
- An electrical fault, e.g. a short circuit, can lead to overheating and fire.
- Even the external heating of a lithium-ion battery, e.g. by sunlight or heating, can lead to fire or explosion.
Always make sure that the lithium-ion batteries are sufficiently protected against mechanical or thermal influences. Should the lithium-ion batteries nevertheless show signs of damage, they should be removed from the device immediately and disposed of properly at the collection points.
Extending the service life: With lithium-ion batteries, it is even more important than with other batteries that premature ageing can be prevented and the service life extended through correct use. You can avoid irreversible loss of capacity by taking simple measures such as proper charging and storage during the usage phase:
A temperature range of 10-25 °C is optimal; temperatures above this can lead to accelerated ageing. When charging the battery, both deep discharge and full charge should be avoided. After a battery has been fully charged, it should be disconnected from the charger shortly afterwards to prevent premature ageing: During prolonged storage, rechargeable batteries should be stored away from equipment and not under high temperatures. We recommend a charge of approx. 40 % when a battery is stored for a long time, so that the battery has enough energy for any self-discharge. However, you should not worry too much about the charge status of a battery. The most important thing is that it is stored in a cool and dry place.

Instructions for use:
- Preparing/charging the battery
♦ Place the battery upside down on the charger supplied.
♦ Now connect the charger properly to the socket.
♦ The charging process is indicated by the red LED lighting up.
♦ As soon as the battery is charged or no more charging current flows, the red LED goes out and the green LED lights up !
♦ Now unplug the charger from the socket.
♦ Now you can detach the battery from the charger and place it on your hand blower until the battery audibly clicks into place ! (See diagram below.)
♦ Now the hand blower is ready for operation !
♦ To change or charge the battery, first switch off the unit and then press the red battery lock on the front of your battery (see diagram above). Now pull the battery out of its holder. - Commissioning
2.1. Align the hand blower so that the air stream flows in the desired direction after switching on.
2.2. The hand blower is switched on by the on switch (pistol switch), which is located at the front of the handle.
Unpressed = unit OFF
Pressed = unit ON
The power (speed) of the hand blower can be increased by pressing the on switch (gun switch) deeper.
- Control for the fan strength
The unit has three (3) power levels, which you can set with the “fan power control” above the switch on:
1 = Weak (Low)
2 = Medium
3 = Strong (High)
To avoid damage and premature wear to your hand blower, you should only use the “blower strength control” when the on switch (gun switch) is not pressed. - Cleaning & Storage
Allow the blower to drain completely and always remove the battery first before carrying out any cleaning activities on your unit !4.1 Cleaning:
– Use a soft and damp cloth to clean the outside of the unit.
– Only use mild cleaning agents to clean your blower.
– Please make sure that water does not get into the interior of the unit or onto the battery at any time !4.2 Storage:
– Remove the battery and place it in a separate box. Make sure that the battery contacts do not come into contact with metallic objects.
– We recommend covering the unit for storage or ideally packing it in its original box.
– Store the unit in a dry and sufficiently ventilated place/space.

Correct disposal of this product:
Within the EU, this symbol indicates that this product should not be disposed of with household waste. Waste equipment contains valuable recyclable materials that should be recycled and not harm the environment or human health through uncontrolled waste disposal. Therefore, please
dispose of old appliances via suitable collection systems or send the appliance for disposal to the place where you purchased it. They will then recycle the appliance.
Correct disposal of the battery:
Never throw lithium-ion batteries – like all other batteries and rechargeable batteries – in the household waste, but in the battery collection boxes in the shops. Consumers are legally obliged to do this. Collection boxes must be available wherever batteries are sold. Separate collection keeps pollutants out of household waste and the environment. On the other hand, it enables the recycling of batteries and thus the recovery of valuable materials such as steel, zinc and nickel.
For lithium-ion batteries, tape the poles beforehand to avoid a short circuit.
We hope you enjoy using this appliance:
Keep these instructions for use in a safe place !
