•
Do not operate near electric
WARNING
power lines. The unit has not been
designed to provide protection from electric
shock in the event of contact with electric
power lines. Consult local regulations for safe
distances from electric power lines and ensure
that the operating position is safe and secure
before use.
• When using this machine with larger-capacity
battery packs, use the shoulder strap to reduce
user fatigue and help in maintaining control of
the tool during use.
• Do not use the tool near anything that is burning or
smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors
or dust, do not use tool near toxic, carcinogenic
or other hazardous materials such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other
health endangering materials.
• Use care when using around decorative plants
and other obstacles. Accessories will cut/damage
many materials.
• When replacing the line, use only 0.080", 0.095", or
0.105" spiral (2 mm, 2.4 mm, or 2.7 mm) diameter
line. Any other size can degrade performance or
cause damage to the tool.
• Do not use metal blades, brush cutting wheels,
grass knife, saw, edger, shredder blades, or
accessories, or attachment other than those
recommended by MILWAUKEE. Serious injury or
product damage may occur.
• Do not operate the tool without the guard in
place. The guard must be attached properly
during use. Operating the tool without the guard
will cause serious injury.
•
Inspect the machine for damage after
NOTICE
striking a hard object or if there appears
to be excess vibration.
• Do not use tool with a damaged trimmer head.
Cracked or broken pieces can be thrown.
• Do not operate the tool without the front handle in
place. The front handle must be attached properly
during use. Use both hands when operating the
tool, according to the attachment instructions.
Maintain a firm grip. Using one hand could cause
loss of control and result in serious injury.
• Do not use the tool with multiple shoulder har-
nesses and make sure no wearables interfere
with the removal of the harness.
• Do not use tool as an edger. Do not tilt tool to
create a right angle to the ground. Keep trimmer
head and line parallel to the ground. Guard cannot
protect against flying debris in this orientation.
• Keep face, hands and feet clear of moving parts at
all times. Moving parts can cause severe lacerations.
• Brace for unexpected movement when contact
is made with a hard object. Loss of control could
result in serious injury.
• Thrown objects may ricochet off of hard surfaces,
such as walls, trees, and rocks and cause injury.
When possible, do trimming by hand in closed in
areas.
• Carry the tool by the front handle to avoid accidental
starting. Proper handling of the tool will prevent injury.
• Always turn off the tool when transporting from
one location to another. Do not carry tool with
finger on the trigger. Accidental starting can cause
serious personal injury.
• Do not immerse in water or spray with a hose. Do
not clean with a pressure washer. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Store tool indoors.
• Do not store the power tool on or near to fertiliz-
ers or chemicals.
• Always turn off the tool and then remove battery
pack before changing or removing accessories.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
•
Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
