OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields.
Do not operate the tool without the guard in place.
The guard must be attached properly when trim-
ming. Operating the trimmer without the guard
will cause serious injury.
Use both hands when operating the trimmer.
Maintain a firm grip. Using one hand could cause
loss of control and result in serious injury.
Inspect the area before use. Remove all debris
and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc.
that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause
injury or damage during operation.
Trimming
1. Grasp the tool firmly by both handles.
2. To start the trimmer, squeeze the lock-off lever
and pull the trigger.
3. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pres-
sure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled,
the greater the speed up to the maximum set by
the speed control button.
4. Allow the trimmer to angle down, keeping at least
12" between the trimmer head and any body part.
Hold the trimmer just above the ground
and swing the head side to side.
12" MINIMUM
5. WARNING! Do not use tool as an edger. Do not tilt
tool to create a right angle to the ground. Keep trim-
mer head and line parallel to the ground. Guard can-
not protect against flying debris in this orientation.
6. To feed out the line, bump it against the ground
gently while running a normal speed. NOTE: When
used near abrasive surfaces or in dense growth,
the cutting line will wear faster and require "bump-
ing" more often.
7. To stop the trimmer, release the trigger. Make sure
the tool comes to a complete stop before laying
the tool down.
Cutting Tips
• Allow the ends of the line to do the cutting.
• Contact between the line and solid objects will cause
extra line wear and breakage.
• Do not drag the spool cover along the ground or
bump it too hard. Only bump spool on the ground.
Do not bump against rocks, driveways, etc.
• Make multiple passes in long growth.
• Avoid ornamental trees, shrubs, and plantings. Avoid
contact with siding, fence posts, etc. They can all
be damaged by the trimmer.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
Gearcase Lubrication
After about 50 hrs of use, the
gearcase should be lubricated to
increase performance and extend
the life of the tool. Place the trimmer
head on its side and remove the hex
head screw. Add up to 10g of Type
Y grease (Cat. No. 49-08-5270) to
the cavity. Do not overfill. Replace
the hex head screw and tighten securely.
Maintaining Line
Store extra line in a sealed plastic bag with a table-
spoon of water to avoid drying or cracking. Periodi-
cally sharpen the line cutter to ensure the line does
not extend too long from the spool, which can cause
motor overload.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to flow inside them.
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest service center.
