READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
OPERATING
■ Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and proper use of the unit.
■ Do not operate this unit when tired, ill, or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
■ Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts.
Check for battery pack leaks. Make sure all fasteners
are in place and secure. Replace string head or any
other parts that are cracked, chipped, or damaged.
Make sure the string head is properly installed and
securely fastened. Be sure the grass shield is properly
attached, and positioned as recommended. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury to the operator and
bystanders, as well as damage to the unit.
■ Use the right tool. Only use this line trimmer for the
purpose intended.
■ Do not use line trimmer if switch will not turn the unit
on or off. A unit that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire,
or string which can be thrown or become en-tangled
in the string head.
■ Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets.
At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets
outside a 15 m radius; there still may be a risk to
bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should
be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are
approached, stop the motor and make sure the string
head stops immediately.

in damp or wet locations.
■ Do not handle the unit with wet hands.

These can break off and become a dangerous
projectile. Do not use any other attachment on this unit.
■ Do not allow children under the age of 15 or untrained
individuals to use this line trimmer.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, always wear full eye
protection when using this line trimmer. Wear a face
or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery; they can be caught in moving parts. Use of
rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
■ To prevent hair from being drawn into nearby air
vents and becoming entangled in moving parts,
wear protective hair covering to contain long hair or
secure covered hair above shoulder level.
■ Do not use electric or battery operated units in rain or
damp weather.
