READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
 For safe operation, read and understand all instructions
before using this product. Follow all safety instructions.
Failure to follow all safety instructions listed below, can
result in serious personal injury.
 Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
 Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which
can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
 Use Safety Glasses – Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Always wear safety glasses with side
shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of eye injury.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the op-
eration is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
ery. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber
gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when
working outdoors. Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves,
boots, and gloves. Do not wear short pants, sandals, or
go barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind.
 Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent entan-
glement in moving parts.
 Keep children away – Keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 50 ft. away.
 Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill,
upset or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medi-
cation.
 Do not operate in poor lighting.
 Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
 Avoid Dangerous Environments – Don't expose appliance
or string trimmer to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
an appliance or string trimmer will increase the risk of
electric shock.
 Use right appliance – Do not use this appliance for any
job except that for which it is intended.
 Don't Force Appliance – It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it
was designed.
 Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective footwear that will protect your feet and im-
prove your footing on slippery surfaces.
 Do not overreach – Keep firm footing and balance. Over-
reaching can result in loss of balance.
 Avoid accidental starting – Be sure switch trigger is in
the locked or off position before inserting battery pack or
power cord. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch
trigger or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the
switch on invites accidents.
 Do not use tool if switch trigger does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch trigger
is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect power – Disconnect battery pack or power
cord from the appliance before storing, servicing, or
changing accessories such as cutting line. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
 Use only recommended or equivalent manufacturer's
replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
 Maintain appliance with care – Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect appliance
inlet plug periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired
by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Replace string head
if cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Be sure the
string head is properly installed and securely fastened.
Failure to do so can cause serious injury. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
 Check for damaged parts – Before further use of the tool,
any 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 conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service dealer.
 Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are
properly and securely attached.
