Watch cut for kickback in the events of impact with hard objects.
After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground level, release the
trigger switch and allow the motor to come to a complete stand still. Place the trimmer on
the ground, remove the battery.
For edging, rotate the motor head.
Note. Periodically clean out the grass between the spool and the rim of the guard to
prevent the tool from vibrating.
5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Warning! To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury; always
remove the battery pack from the product before adjusting, inspecting, or cleaning.
Never disassemble the tool or carry out any repairs. Always have the trimmer and charger
maintained or repaired by a competent person at an authorised service centre.
Warning – there is a danger of moving hazardous parts.
a. CLEANING
Remove the battery pack. Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air vent using
compressed air or a vacuum. Keep the air vents free of obstructions, sawdust, and wood
chips. Do not sprays, wash, or immerse the air vents in water.
Wipe off the housing and the plastic components using a moist, soft cloth. Do not use
strong solvents or detergents on the plastic housing or plastic components. Certain
household cleaners may cause damage, and may cause a shock hazard.
b. STORAGE
Clean the grass trimmer thoroughly before storing. Store the grass trimmer in a dry, well-
ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and dicing salts.
Always place blade cover on cutting blades before storing.
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal
room temperature will shorten battery pack life.
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for battery pack to cool and fully
charge immediately.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose
their charge. If you store your unit for long periods of time without using it, recharge the
batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery pack life.
