The packaging is easy to remove everything, and you might want to charge the battery and skim the manual. I'll be honest; I never read the manual and have never felt the need. After all, there's no choke, fuel, oil, spark plugs, air filters, primers, or all the annoyances of a gas blower.

The battery slides in, then clicks when in place. Press down on the obvious green button to remove the battery for charging. That only leaves two things to do - squeeze the trigger and adjust the speed. You can press the lock button, so you don't need to hold the trigger down.
