SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
If battery fluid gets in the eyes, flush immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention. Do not charge the battery pack in the rain or in wet conditions. Do not immerse the unit, battery pack, or charger in water or other liquid.
WARNING:The battery pack may develop a small leak under extreme usage
or temperature conditions. If the outer seal is broken and the leakage gets on skin:
- Use soap and water to wash the area immediately.
- Neutralize with lemon juice, vinegar or other mild acid. And seek medical attention immediately.
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLE
• Always maintain a proper grip on the handles whenever the motor is running. Grip the unit firmly with both hands. Keep the left hand on the D-handle and the right hand on the shaft grip. The fingers should encircle the handle(s) and the thumb(s) should wrap under the handle(s). The left arm should be straight and the right arm slightly bent.
PROPER STANCE
• Balance body weight securely, with both feet on solid ground.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
• Keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children and animals – at least 50 feet (15 m) away from the work area. If anyone enters the work area, stop the unit!
• Only operate the unit when visibility and light are adequate to see clearly.
• Remove stones, nails, glass and wire from the area before operating the unit.
• Only operate the unit during reasonable hours. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
1. Hold the unit at waist level with the cutting attachment parallel to the ground so that it easily contacts the grass without the need to
bend over (Fig. 12).
2. Start the motor. Refer to Starting and Stopping Instructions.
3. Slowly move the cutting attachment into and out of the cutting area at the desired height.
• Move either in a forward-backward or side-to-side motion. When cutting from side-to-side, cut from right to left whenever possible.
This improves the unit’s cutting efficiency and directs clippings away from the operator.
• Cutting shorter lengths produces the best results.
• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or motor drag.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip
will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the motor.
• Only trim when grass or weeds are dry.
4. Dispose of debris appropriately.
CHARGING THE BATTERY NOTE: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully
charge the battery before use to ensure that maximum run time can be achieved. The lithium-ion battery will not develop a memory and may be charged at any time. A fully discharged battery will require approximately 4.5 hours to completely charge.
1. Plug the charger into an AC wall outlet/ receptacle.
2. The red Power LED will illuminate (Fig. 7).
3. Insert the battery into the charger (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully inserted into the charge by making sure
the red Indicator LED charge light is on (Fig. 7).
4. Once the battery has reached a full charge level the Indicator LED will turn
from red to green (Fig. 7).
5. The battery may be removed (Fig. 8) or stored in the charger once it is fully
charged; however, it is recommended to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet/receptacle.
NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries, while in use, will continue to provide full power
without power fade unlike typical batteries; when the battery is fully discharged, the battery circuitry will immediately cut power to the tool and require immediate charging.

ADJUSTING THE TRIMMER LINE
While the unit is operating, the trimming line gets worn down and becomes shorter. This unit is equipped with an Automatic Line Advancement cutting head which automatically feeds additional line to the correct length as it wears down. If the line does not automatically advance, the trimming line may be tangled or empty. Refer to the maintenance section of this manual.
The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
• Following the trimming techniques previously explained
• What vegetation is cut
• Where the vegetation is cut.
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.
Decorative Trimming
Decorative trimming is the act of removing all vegetation from around trees, posts, fences, etc. To accomplish it, rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a 30˚ angle to the ground (Fig. 13).
