IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
For safe operation, read and understand all instructions
before using this product. Follow all safety instructions. Failure to follow all safety instructions listed below, can result in serious personal injury.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Use Safety Glasses – Always use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Dress Properly – Use of rubber gloves and substantial
footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving parts.
Keep children away – Keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 50 ft. away.
Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, upset, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Do not operate in poor lighting. Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Avoid Dangerous Environments – Don’t expose appliance
or string trimmer to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an appliance or string trimmer will increase the risk of electric shock.
Use Right Appliance – Do not use appliance for any job
except that for which it is intended. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Don’t Force Appliance – It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
Do not overreach – Keep firm footing and balance.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
Avoid accidental starting – Be sure switch trigger is in
the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch trigger or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
Do not use tool if switch trigger does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect trimmer – Disconnect battery pack from
the appliance before storing, servicing, or changing accessories such as cutting line. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and
accessories. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Maintain appliance with care – Replace string head if
cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Be sure the string head is properly installed and securely fastened. Failure to do so can cause serious injury. Follow instruc­tions for lubrication and changing accessories. Inspect trimmer cord periodically and, if damaged, have it replaced. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from grease and oil.
Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the appli-
ance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount­ing and any other condition that may effect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center un­less indicated elsewhere in this manual.
Keep hands and feet away from cutting area. Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are
properly and securely attached.
Use only the manufacturer’s replacement string in the
cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment, for example, metal wire, rope, or the like. To install any other brand of cutting head to this string trimmer can result in serious personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never operate unit without the grass deflector in place
and in good condition.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming. Keep
string head below waist level. Never cut with the string 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.
Inspect area to be cut. Remove objects (rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, string, etc.) which can be thrown or become entangled in cutting head.
Keep the air vents clean and free of debris to avoid
overheating the motor. Clean after each use.
Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when not
in use. Carry the unit with the motor stopped.
Store out of the reach of children. Do not hang unit so that the switch trigger is depressed. Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not charge battery tool in rain, or damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain. Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning
or removing material from the gardening appliance.
Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 40V
lithium-ion battery packs. See Tool/Appliance/Battery Pack/Charger Correlation Supplement 988000-842.
Store idle appliances - When not in use, string trimmer
should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special 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.
