4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On and Off

To turn the leaf blower on, press and hold the trigger. Release the trigger to turn the device off.

4.2 Speed Control

The LBL 2 features variable speed control, allowing you to adjust the airflow intensity based on the task. For maximum power, engage the turbo function (if available on your model) in conjunction with the main trigger.

4.3 Using the Flat Nozzle with Scraper

The flat nozzle concentrates the airflow, making it ideal for directing leaves and debris into piles. The integrated scraper can be used to loosen stubborn, stuck-on dirt or wet leaves from hard surfaces like patios and driveways.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Regularly wipe the exterior of the blower with a damp cloth. Ensure that the air intake and outlet vents are free from debris to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating.

5.2 Storage

For compact and space-saving storage, the blower tube can be easily removed from the main unit. Store the device in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the battery is removed before long-term storage.

6. Troubleshooting

If your Kärcher LBL 2 Cordless Leaf Blower is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• Device not powering on: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the compartment.
• Reduced airflow: Check the blower tube and air intake for any obstructions (e.g., leaves, twigs) and remove them.
• Short battery life: Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. Battery performance can decrease over time or in very cold conditions.

For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, please contact Kärcher customer support.
