General instructions
1. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the string
trimmer or these instructions to operate the tool.
String trimmers are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
2. Be sure that anyone who is to operate the string
trimmer has first read the instruction manual.
3. Use the string trimmer with the utmost care and
attention.
4. Operate the string trimmer only if you are in good
physical condition. Perform all work calmly and
carefully. Use common sense and keep in mind

6. Avoid accidentally starting:
− Ensure the switch is in the off position before
installing the battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into the string trimmer with the
switch on invites accidents.
− Carrying the string trimmer with your finger
on the switch invites accidents.
7. The string trimmer should be switched off
immediately if it shows any signs of abnormal
operation.
8. Disconnect the battery from the string trimmer
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the sting
trimmer accidentally.
9. Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed.
10. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
11. Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate appliance when
you are tired.
12. Store idle appliances indoors.
Intended use of the tool
1. Use right tool. The cordless string trimmer is only
intended for cutting grass and light weeds. It
should not be used for any other purpose such as
edging or hedge cutting as this may cause injury.
2. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended
accessories and attachments. Use of any other
accessories and attachments may increase the
risk of injury.

hearing impairment (ear muffs , ear plugs etc.).
Electrical and battery safety
1. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the tool
in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain.
Water entering the tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
2. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
3. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
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.
7.

electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
8. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
9. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be
replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell
pressure and rupture discharged battery(ies).
