HOLDING THE LINE TRIMMER
WARNING:
Dress properly to reduce the risk of
injury when operating this tool. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Wear eye and ear/hearing protection.
Wear heavy duty, long trousers, boots and gloves. Do not
wear short trousers, sandals or go barefoot.
Before operating, hold the trimmer with both hands, one
hand on the rear handle and the other on the front-assist
handle which shall be straight (Fig. M). Then check for
balanced footing and a proper cutting distance.
NOTICE:
The trimmer head is parallel to the ground at a
proper cutting distance without the operator bending over.
STARTING/STOPPING THE LINE TRIMMER
To Start
Press down the lock-off button then depress the trigger.
Different pressure on the trigger results in variable rotat-
ing speed of the cutting line. More pressure, higher speed.
To Stop
Release the lock-off button and the trigger.
NOTICE:
The motor runs only when the lock-off button
and trigger are both pressed.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack from
the line trimmer during work breaks and after finishing
work.
USING THE LINE TRIMMER
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, wear
goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating
this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty
locations.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all ob-
jects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line, that
can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attach-
ment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets.
At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets at
least 15m away; there still may be risk to bystanders from
thrown objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear
eye protection. If you are approached, stop the motor and
cutting attachment immediately.

Before each use, check for damage/worn parts
Check the bump head, guard and front-assist handle
and replace the parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or
damaged in any away.
The line-cutting blade on the edge of the guard can dull
over time. It is recommended that you periodically sharp-
en it with a file or replace it with a new blade.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when mounting the
guard or servicing the blade. Take care of the blade on
the guard and protect your hand from cutting.
After each use, clean the trimmer.
CAUTION:
Obstructions in the vents will prevent
the air from flowing into the motor housing and result in
overheating or damaged of the motor.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
◾
Keep air vents in the motor housing from debris at all
times.
WARNING:
Never use water for cleaning your
trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS (FIG. N)
◾
The correct angle for the cutting attachment is parallel
to the ground.
◾
Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line
to do the cutting (especially along walls). Cutting with
more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and
may overload the motor.
◾
The cutting height is determined by the distance of the
cutting line from the lawn surface.
◾
Grass over 20cm should be cut by working
progressively from top to the bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or motor
drag.
◾
Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area
being cut, maintaining the cutting head position at the
desired cutting height. This movement can be either
a forward-backward motion or a side-to-side motion.
Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
◾
Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
◾
Wire and picket fences can cause extra line wear or
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear line rapidly.
