SAFETY INFORMATION
• Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
• Store idle appliances indoors - When not in use, the appliances should be stored indoors
in a dry and high or locked-up place with the battery pack removed out of reach of children.
• Maintain appliance with care - Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance
and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• Check damaged parts - Before further use of the appliance trimmer, 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 alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its 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.
• Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet locations.
• Remove or disconnect battery pack before servicing, cleaning or removing material
from the trimmer.

• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
• Do not operate the trimmer while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100 ft. (30.5m) away.
• Always hold the trimmer firmly, with both hands on the handles, while operating.
Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles.
• To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or on any
other insecure support. Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.
• Do not operate the trimmer in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
appliances normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. Avoid loose garments or
jewelry that could get caught in moving parts of the machine or its motor.
• Damage to trimmer - If you strike a foreign object with the trimmer or it becomes
entangled, stop the tool immediately, check for damage and have any damage
repaired before further operation is attempted. Do not operate with a broken guard or
spool.
• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• A loose head may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer, which may result
in serious or fatal injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly fixed in
position. If the head loosens after fixing it in position, replace it immediately.
• Never use a trimmer with a loose cutting attachment.
