Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use face mask if operating in dusty work spaces.
Avoid Dangerous Environment — Don’t expose power tools to damp or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Don’t use in rain.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
• Do not use the power tools for any job except that for which it is intended.
• Avoid Unintentional Starting – Do not carry string trimmer with ngers on the switch. Be sure
the battery is removed while transporting.
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.
Don’t overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Stay alert - Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill or under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
Always store idle power tools indoors - When not in use, power tools should be stored indoors
in a dry place, out of reach of children.
Power tool maintenance – Replace string head if cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Be sure the string head is properly installed and securely fastened. 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. Failure to do so
can cause serious injury.
Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the appliance, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, damaged mountings, and any other condition that may affect 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.
Do not charge or operate cordless tools in damp or wet locations or in the rain. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a re. The cells 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.
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.
• Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.
Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Do not add unnecessary force to your power tool – It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
For use only with Briggs & Stratton batteries BSB2AH82 (2 amp-hour) or BSB4AH82 (4 amp-
hour). For use only with Briggs & Stratton charger BSRC82.
• 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 a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or power tools to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re
or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.

This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.

OPERATION
OPERATING THE TRIMMER (See Figure 8.)
WARNING
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keeping clearance between your body and the string trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head while operating can result in serious
personal injury.
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 auxiliary
handle.
• Keep a rm 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 shaft
housing and string head which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
• Remove the battery pack.
• Remove the grass.

injury.
ADVANCING LINE (See Figure 9.)
While the string trimmer is operating, the cutting line gets worn down and becomes shorter. This trimmer is equipped with bump feed line advancement, which advances additional line once the head is bumped on the ground while rotating. The cutting blade will cut the line to keep an accurate cutting swath.

OPERATION
CUTTING TIPS (See Figure 13 .)
• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
The 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 gure 13.
• Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear and breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs,
and wood may wear string rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

BATTERY & CHARGER MAINTENANCE
CHARGING PROCEDURE
NOTE: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully charge before rst use to ensure
that maximum run time can be achieved. This lithium -ion batter y will not develop a memory and may be charged at any time.
Low voltage charging:
If the battery has been stored with little to no charge for a long period of time, the charger will go into recovery mode, which will take 20 hrs to fully charge the battery. This will enhance the life of the battery. Once it is fully charged, the next charge will return to standard charging.
A fully discharged battery pack will require the allotted time as stated in the battery manual.
Plug the charger into an AC power outlet.
Insert the battery into the charger. This is a diagnostic charger. The Charger LED Lights will illuminate in specic order to
communicate the current battery status. They are as follows:

False defect note:
When the battery is inserted into the charger and the status LED blinks RED, remove the battery from the charger for 1 minute, then reinsert. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then the battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking RED, remove the battery and unplug the charger for 1 minute.
After 1 minute, plug in the charger and reinsert the battery. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then the battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking RED, the battery is defective and needs to be replaced.
