Safety Information
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection, and gloves, when operating the leaf blower. Keep bystanders, especially children and pets, away from the work area. Do not operate the blower in wet conditions or near flammable liquids or gases. Ensure the battery pack is securely installed before operation and removed before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
Setup
- Attaching the Blower Nozzle: Align the blower nozzle with the outlet on the main housing. Push the nozzle firmly until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure connection.
- Installing the Battery Pack: Insert a fully charged RYOBI ONE+ 18-Volt Lithium-Ion battery pack into the battery port on the blower handle. Push until it locks securely. Ensure the battery is fully seated before operation.
- Removing the Battery Pack: Press the battery release latches on the sides of the battery pack and pull the battery out of the tool.
Operating Instructions
- Starting the Blower: With the battery installed, press the variable speed trigger to start the blower. The airflow speed will increase as the trigger is pressed further.
- Variable Speed Control: The blower features a variable speed trigger, allowing you to adjust the airflow from low to high. Use lower speeds for delicate areas like flower beds and higher speeds for clearing driveways and sidewalks.
- Stopping the Blower: Release the variable speed trigger to turn off the blower.
- Operating Technique: Hold the blower firmly with one hand. Sweep the blower from side to side, moving debris in front of you. For stubborn debris, use a scraping motion with the nozzle tip.
Maintenance
