IMPORTANT SAFETY 
INSTRUCTIONS 

 

WARNING! When using electric gardening 

appliances, basic safety precautions should always 
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, 
and personal injury, including the following. 

Read All Instructions 

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may 
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

General instructions 

1.

Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the string
trimmer or these instructions to operate the tool.
String trimmers are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users. 

2.

Be sure that anyone who is to operate the string
trimmer has first read the instruction manual. 

3.

Use the string trimmer with the utmost care and
attention. 

4.

Operate the string trimmer only if you are in good
physical condition. Perform all work calmly and
carefully. Use common sense and keep in mind
that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property. 

5.

Never operate the string trimmer when tired,
feeling ill or under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. 

6. 

Avoid accidentally starting: 

Ensure the switch is in the off position before
installing the battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into the string trimmer with the
switch on invites accidents. 

Carrying the string trimmer with your finger
on the switch invites accidents. 

7.

The 

string 

trimmer 

should be switched off

immediately if it shows any signs of abnormal
operation. 

8.

Disconnect the battery from the string trimmer
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the sting
trimmer accidentally. 

9.

Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for 
which it was designed. 

10. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. 

11. Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use

common sense. Do not operate appliance when
you are tired. 

12.  Store idle appliances indoors. 

Intended use of the tool 

1.

Use right tool. The cordless string trimmer is only
intended for cutting grass and light weeds. It
should not be used for any other purpose such as
edging or hedge cutting as this may cause injury. 

2.

Use only the manufacturer’s recommended
accessories and attachments. Use of any other
accessories and attachments may increase the
risk of injury.
