STARTING
SPEED SELECTOR
PREPARING THE BATTERY FOR USE
Refer to the notice for the Pellenc tools battery.
Before start-up, make sure that the blower is in perfect condition to guarantee safe operation.
Your blower is equipped with a speed change system.
This system is used to optimize and vary the air  ow
power using the selector (1) on the handle.
When the blower is energized, the four indicator lights on
the handle (2) indicate the selected speed.
1– Connect the blower power cord to the Pellenc power tool
battery. Screw it on and make sure it is properly attached.
2– Hold the blower in its operating position, blowing nozzle
pointing to the ground.
3– Flip the ON/OFF switch of the Pellenc power tool battery
to ON «I». When the indicator light is on and the battery
beeps 3 times, the blower is energized and ready to
operate.
4– Press the control trigger (1) to start the blower. Walk slowly
while blowing out from one side to another the leaves,
green waste or urban garbage.
5– The blower speed varies according to the pressure on the
trigger.
6– Release the trigger (1) to stop the blower.
The progressiveness of the control trigger allows
precise and instantaneous control of the air fl ow.
CAUTION
Make sure you keep suffi cient distance (at least 30 cm) between the air intake and any volatile
source (grounds, walls, roofs, etc.), such as sand, gravels, liquids, etc.
These objects are likely to be drawn, pass through the air intake grille, damage your equipment
and be high-speed projected.

The blower has a "booster" mode which gives the
maximum power (750 W) instantly. The speed and air  ow
are then at the maximum (air speed: 61 m/s - air  ow:
730 m3/h).
This mode is available for each speed.
Hold the selector button down (1) to switch to the "booster"
mode. The mode activates after 0.5 seconds and the four
indicator lights  ash simultaneously.
When you release the button, the blower goes back to its
initial speed.
Install the carrying hook on the lateral strap of the
equipment carrier vest.
Only use the "booster" mode temporarily and in case you need it (stuck debris, etc.) in order
to limit the blower power consumption.
