should also have the same level of wear. It is not recommended to connect a fl at battery with a new one, even if both batteries are
charged to the same level and have the same capacity. Failure to comply with the above recommendations will result in shorter
operating times and faster wear of the batteries used to supply the tool. Slide the battery into one of the sockets so that its latch
is outside the socket (XIII). Slide the battery into the seat until the latch engages. Repeat for the second battery. Make sure that
the batteries will not disconnect on its own during operation. Disconnect the battery by pressing and holding the latch and then
pulling the battery out of the seat.
Only the following 18V Li-Ion YATO batteries can be used to power the tool: YT-82842, YT-82843, YT-82844 and YT-82845, which
can only be charged with YATO YT-82848 or YT-82849 chargers. It is forbidden to use other batteries with a diff erent rated voltage
and not matching the tool battery socket. It is forbidden to modify the socket or battery to make them match.
Activation of the blower / vacuum
Ensure that the batteries are connected to the unit. Grasp the product by the handle, make sure that neither the air inlet nor the
air outlet is obstructed. Direct the nozzle outlet so that the airfl ow is not directed at any person, animal or object. Start the product
by pressing the switch located on the control panel with your fi nger. Pressing the switch will start the airfl ow. On the control panel
(XIV) there are lights indicating the approximate state of charge of the batteries: red, orange, green - battery charged. Red, orange
– battery partially charged. Red – battery needs charging.
Once started, the unit operates at its weakest airfl ow force. To increase the airfl ow force, press the airfl ow force button on the
control panel marked with an upward arrow. To reduce the airfl ow force, press the airfl ow force button on the control panel marked
with a down arrow. Each single press of the increase or decrease button increases or decreases the airfl ow force by one degree.
A change in the airfl ow force is indicated by the lights lighting up, the more lights lit up, the higher the blowing or suction force. To
switch off the blower, press your fi nger on the switch, wait until the operation of the machine is completely stopped, disconnect the
machine from the power supply by disconnecting the batteries. Next, proceed with maintenance.
Turbo function
During unit's operation, it is possible to increase the airfl ow capacity to maximum by using the turbo function. This function should
only be used briefl y, for a maximum of 30 seconds, only if the airfl ow force in normal operation is insuffi cient. The turbo function
operates independently of the currently set airfl ow strength. To use the turbo function, the device must be switched on. The turbo
function cannot be switched on until the machine has reached full speed for normal operation. Then press and hold the "TURBO"
button on the control panel. Releasing pressure on the button will allow the machine to return to normal operation. The blower
does not have the option of running in turbo mode by holding down the "TURBO" button.
Instructions for use
Always make sure that the inlet, outlet, and nozzle are not clogged. Increased noise and vibration will be the fi rst sign if any of
these is partly or completely clogged. Restore the fl ow capacity immediately. Working with a clogged product is ineffi cient and
can cause overheating and damage to it. Before starting work, check the work area thoroughly, removing any objects that may
cause a hazard if propelled by an air blow. Also, remove any objects that may move unexpectedly under the infl uence of the air
stream, e.g., tip over and cause danger. Provide a safety zone of at least 15 m wide from the working area. The safety zone must
not be accessible to any persons, especially children. Persons entering the safety zone should exercise caution and use the same
personal protective equipment as the machine operator.
Always direct the blower nozzle downwards, towards the ground to be cleaned. Do not blow debris in the direction of other people or animals.
Do not blow air towards a surface that is too loose. The dust generated during such use impairs the ability to watch the workplace,
which does not allow for appropriate response in the event of an emergency. As far as possible, direct the air fl ow in the same
direction as the wind. This will prevent debris from moving into the already cleared area. Before starting the vacuum, always make
sure that the collection bag is correctly installed. Check the amount of debris in the bag regularly during operation, and empty it.
Collection bag overfi lling will lead to clogging. Do not use the vacuum to suck in wet, damp, or hot waste. Do not suck in construc-
tion waste and dust generated during construction works, e.g., dust generated when fi nishing gypsum skim coats. The product is
not suitable for such materials. If the product has a speed adjustment function, use the lowest speed possible to carry out the work.
Higher speeds cause more noise and also cause faster wear of the product. Walk and keep your balance at all times, do not run,
do not jump, do not overreach during the work. Do not use the product to clean a surface that is out of sight.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Whenever work is completed, disconnect the batteries from the product and proceed with maintenance. Dismount the nozzle and
the collection bag, if it was used. Clean both the vents and the inlet and outlet with a soft brush or a painting brush with plastic
bristles. Clean the housing, handle, and controls with a soft, slightly dampened with water cloth and then dry them. A compressed
air stream with a pressure not exceeding 0.3 MPa can be used for cleaning. Once the nozzle is removed, it can be cleaned with
a water jet and then dried or left to dry. Do not immerse the device or batteries in water or any other liquid. Do not clean the unit
with a jet of water or other liquid. Empty the bag by unzipping it and removing dust residue using a stream of compressed air of 0.3
MPa or less. Do not use sharp objects, abrasives, solvents, or alcohol for cleaning. Take special care when cleaning the blades
attached to the rotor. Blades have sharp edges and their improper handling can lead to injury.
