Safety Instructions
All Operators Must Read These 

Instructions Before Use

Read all the instructions contained in this manual. Keep this 

manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at 

all times. If you give the equipment to another person, make 

sure to provide these operating instructions. Basic safety 

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of 

fire, electric shock, and personal injury. 

m

DANGER! 

This indicates a hazardous situation, which,   

if not followed, will result in serious injury or death.

m

WARNING! 

This indicates a hazardous situation, which, 

if not followed, could result in serious injury or death.

m

CAUTION! 

This indicates a hazardous situation, which, 

if not followed, could result in minor or moderate injury.

Improper use of the machine will invalidate the warranty, 

relieve the manufacturer from all liabilities. The user will 

consequently be liable for all and any damage or injury to 

himself/herself or others.

m

DANGER! 

The cordless t edger should only 

be used for cutting lawns and for trimming along the borders 

of flower beds. Other uses of the t edger that are 

not indicated in these instructions could damage the unit or 

seriously injure the operator.

General Safety

1.  Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use appliances 

in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.

2.  Keep children and bystanders away – Children and 

other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least 

50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the 

grass is cut, stones and debris contained in the grass can 

be picked up by the t edger and dispersed into 

the air. These flying projectiles can cause blindness or 

other bodily injury. 

3.  Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing when 

using the t edger to prevent head, hand, or feet 

injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can 

get caught in moving parts.

4.  Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear, snug-

fitting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and head 

protection.

5.  Use the right tools – 

Do not use tools for any job except 

that for which they are intended.

6.  Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry the tool with 

finger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is off before 

inserting the battery.

7.  Do not force the tool –

 It will do the job better and with 

less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it 

was designed.

8.  Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times.

9.  Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate the t edger when you are 

tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

10. Disconnect the tool – 

Turn the t edger off and 

remove the battery when: the unit is not in use; it is left 

unattended; it is being examined because it is not working 

correctly; the cutting line is being removed or changed; 

or when the trimmer is being moved from one place to 

another.

11. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should 

be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out 

of the reach of children.

12. Maintain tools with care – Keep cutting edges sharp 

and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk 

of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing 

accessories. Inspect the t edger periodically and 

replace if damaged. Repair the t edger only at an 

authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean, and 

free from oil and grease.

13. Checked for damaged parts – Before continuing to 

use the t edger, a guard or other part that is 

damaged should be carefully checked to determine that 

it will operate properly and perform its intended function. 

Check for the alignment of moving parts, binding of 

moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other 

condition that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or 

other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or 

replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated 

elsewhere in this manual.

m

CAUTION! 

The safety guard is critical to the safety of 

the operator and the safety of people standing within a safe 

distance of the t edger. The safety guard keeps the 

unit in good working order and must always be in place during 

operation. Failure to have the guard in place during operation 

is dangerous and will void the warranty.
