head located over 30 in. or more above the ground.
Store idle appliances indoors - When not in use, string
trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place
out of the reach of children.
Never use blades, flailing devices, wire or rope. Unit
is designed for line trimmer use only. Use of any other
accessories or attachments will increase the risk of injury.

disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or
heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in
a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 100°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets
into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least
10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this power tool.
If you loan someone this power tool, loan them these
instructions also.

OPERATION
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 7.
Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the boom housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
Remove the grass.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body
keeping clearance between the body and the string
trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head
while operating can result in serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 8.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right
to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 10.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
ADVANCING LINE
NOTE: The trimmer is equipped with an auto-feed head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage
the trimmer and void the warranty.
With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE: The line will extend approximately 1/4 in. with each
stop and start of the switch trigger until the line reaches
the length of the grass deflector cut-off blade.
Resume trimming.
ADVANCING THE LINE MANUALLY
See Figure 9.
Remove the battery pack.
Push the black button located on the string head while
pulling on line to manually advance the line.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 10.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the grass
deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to
length by the line cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you
hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance
and keep line long enough to advance properly.
EDGING
See Figures 11 - 12.
Remove the battery pack.
Depress the latches on each side of the string trimmer.
Rotate the lower end of the tool to the edging position.
Make sure the latches snap into place and the lower end
of the tool is secured before beginning operation.
For Trimmer Operation:
Remove the battery pack.
Depress the latches on each side of the string trimmer.
Rotate the lower end of the tool to the trimmer position.
Make sure the latches snap into place and the lower end
of the tool is secured before beginning operation.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body
keeping clearance between the body and the string
trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head
while operating can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Never stand directly in the path of the cutting line while
edging. Always stand to the left of the grass deflector to
avoid thrown debris, which could result in serious personal
injury.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.

objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing
