3. Always wear a helmet where there is a risk of falling objects. The protective helmet is to be checked at regular intervals for damage and is to be replaced at least every five years. Use only approved protective helmets.

4. The visor of the helmet (or alternatively goggles) protects the face from flying debris and stones. During operation of the tool always wear goggles, or a visor to prevent eye injuries.

5. Wear adequate noise protection equipment to avoid hearing impairment (ear muffs , ear plugs etc.).

4. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE

1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.

2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.

3. If operating time has become excessively

shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.

4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.

5. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with any

conductive material.

(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a

container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.

(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water

or rain. A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.

6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 ﾟ C (122 ﾟ F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

9. Do not use a damaged battery.

10. Follow your local regulations relating to

disposal of battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries.

Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that have been altered, may result in the battery bursting causing fires, personal injury and damage. It will also void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and charger.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10 ﾟ C - 40 ﾟ C (50 ﾟ F - 104 ﾟ F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for a long period (more than six months).

1. Red indicator

013921

CAUTION:

• Always switch off the tool before installing or

removing of the battery cartridge.

• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly

when installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the tool and battery cartridge

and a personal injury. To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge. To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.

CAUTION:

• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the

red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may

accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to

you or someone around you.

• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the

cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being

inserted correctly.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off

and battery cartridge is removed before removing weeds or debris entangled in the trimmer that could not be removed when operated in the reverse mode. Failure to switch

off and remove the battery cartridge may result in serious personal injury from accidental start-up.

014159

This trimmer has a reversing switch which is only provided to change the direction of rotation so that it can be used to remove weeds and debris entangled in the trimmer. To operate the tool normally the "A" side of the switch should be depressed. To remove weeds and debris that are jammed in the rotating head the tool can be reversed by depressing the "B" side of the switch. In the reverse position the tool will only operate for a short period of time and automatically shut off.

NOTICE:

•

Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the trimmer

comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction

of rotation before the trimmer stops may damage

the tool.

Battery protection system (Lithium-ion battery with star marking)

012128

1. Star marking

Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped with a protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the tool to extend battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

• Overloaded:

The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, release the switch trigger on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the switch trigger again to restart. If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the switch trigger again.

• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the battery.

Indication lamps

Replacing the nylon cord

WARNING:

• Make sure that the cover of the nylon cutting

head is secured to the housing properly as described below. Failure to properly secure the

cover may cause the nylon cutting head to fly apart resulting in serious personal injury.

• Use only 2.0 - 3.0 mm (0.08" - 0.12") diameter

nylon cord. Never use metal wire, rope or the like. Use of something other than the

recommended nylon cord may cause damage to the trimmer and result in serious personal injury.

013824

Hook the middle of the new nylon cord to the notch located at the center of the spool between the 2 channels provided for the nylon cord. Wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction marked on the head for left hand direction indicated by LH.

013825

Wind all but about 100 mm (4") of the cords, leaving the ends temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of the spool.

013822

Take off cover from housing, pressing two latches which are slotted section oppositely on side of housing.
