WARNING

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 

and/or serious personal injury.

Work Area

• Keep your work area clean and well lit.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power 

tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for 

the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

• Use a battery-operated tool only with specified battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or 

under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious 

personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools 

with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the  

tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool

in unexpected situations.

Tool Use and Care

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be 

repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing 

accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s 

operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool 

may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified 

personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. 

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

A grass trimmer can throw foreign objects into your eyes, which could cause permanent eye damage.

ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses). Ordinary eyeglas

s

es have only impact-resistant lenses...

they are NOT safety goggles.
