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 edger – Disconnect battery pack from the
appliance before storing, servicing, or changing blade or
when not in use. 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.
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.
Store idle appliances indoors - When not in use, edger

reach of children.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when not
in use. Carry the unit with the motor stopped.
Don’t grasp the exposed cutting edges when picking up
or holding the appliance.”
Maintain Appliance With Care - Keep cutting edge sharp
and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk
of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically, and
if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
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 only with battery and charger listed.
• When using with 24 V power head, use 24 V lithiumion battery packs. See Tool/Appliance/Battery Pack/
Charger Correlation Supplement 988000-446.
• When using with 40 V power head, use 40 V lithiumion battery packs. See Tool/Appliance/Battery Pack/
Charger Correlation Supplement 988000-842.
Store idle appliances - When not in use, edger 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.
