1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS GRASS TRIMMER

Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and it must be fully charged once before it is used. The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion battery for use with this tool. Do not use another battery charger.

2. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK

The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, the trimmer will switch off by means of a protective circuit: The trimmer head will stop rotating. Note: In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging.

3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See Fig. C)

6. MAIN HANDLE ROTATION (See Fig. F1, F2)

While holding the trimmer head (14), pull upward on the upper shaft (19) and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise then allow it to drop back into the lower shaft coupling (18). When released back into the lower shaft coupling, the upper shaft will be locked into position automatically.

grip the main handle/upper shaft and apply adequate force on the upper handle pushing it downwards, as shown in Fig. H1. Adjust the upper shaft angle upwards, put one foot on the safety guard area of the trimmer head, then grip the main handle, apply adequate force to adjust, as shown in Fig. H2.

9. SPACER GUARD

Push the ﬂower guard in when edging and pull it before trimming, as shown in Figure I. Before trimming or edging make sure the ﬂower guard is locked ﬁrmly in position.

OPERATION

WARNING:

protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury. When operating unit, check for the following: Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold front handle with one hand and auxiliary handle with the other hand. Keep unit below waist level. Work only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.

WARNING: Make sure that line is

fed out before operation. Make sure motor is up to full speed before trimming or edging.

WARNING: Use only 0.065”(1.65mm)

cutting line, diameter line. Other sizes of line will not feed properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other material such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous projectile that can cause serious injury.

TRIMMING

Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about just above the ground and at a slight angle. Allow only the tip of line to make contact with the grass. Let the trimmer line work at its own pace. Do not force trimmer line into work area.

Always wear the eye

Edging (See Fig. J)

Change the tool from trimming to edging mode by putting one foot on the motor housing portion of the trimmer head (20) while gripping the main handle/upper shaft apply adequate force on the upper handle pushing it downwards, as shown in Fig H1. Make sure to adjust trimmer head angle to be in the lowest horizontal setting. Then, holding the lower housing then pull upwards the upper shaft, then rotate 90 degree clockwise. (Fig. F1,) Then position the wheel on the ground for edge mode. The guard has two white line guides to indicate the cutting line position. Align these marks with the edge of your lawn. While edging, only allow the tip of the line to make contact with area being worked. Do not force the line. The edging wheels help protect the unit and keep the unit from contacting the ground. Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.

AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM

When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. Each time the tools is started from rest it will advance about .25 inches of trimmer line. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the lines hit the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this is quit normal. After about 5 seconds the line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor receives full speed. If the noise of the line being cut can’t be heard, more line will need to be fed out. To feed more line, it is ﬁrst necessary to allow the trimmer to stop completely; it must come to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed. Repeat above until you hear the line hitting against the line cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)

TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (See Fig. K1)

Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery If required, line can be feed out manually To operate, press and release manual line feed button (16), while gently pulling out the line
