purchased. Before using the trimmer for the first time,
place the battery in the battery charger and charge.
6a. To install:
a. Align the battery (Q) with the cavity in the string
trimmer housing.
b. Insert the battery into the handle until the battery
release button (A) locks into place. Push down on
the battery until it locks into place. You should hear
a "click" once it is installed.
Note: The battery can only be installed one way.

a. Press the battery release button (A) on the string trimmer. This will cause the battery to raise out
of the tool slightly.
b. Grasp the trimmer firmly and pull the battery out of the handle.

shock or fire:
• Replace the battery immediately if the battery case is damaged.
• Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before inserting or removing the battery.
• Verify that the battery is removed and the switch is in the OFF position before inspecting,
adjusting, or performing maintenance on any part of the string trimmer.
7. Adjusting the cutter blade
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on
the guard. Advance line whenever you hear the engine
running faster than normal or when trimming efficiency
diminishes. This will maintain best performance and
keep line long enough to advance properly.
This trimmer is currently set at the 12 in. cutting swath.
To adjust to a cutting swath of 10 in.:
a. Remove the battery from the string trimmer.
b. Remove both screws on the cut-off blade with a
Phillips head screwdriver.
c. Rotate the cut-off blade 180°.
d. Replace both screws in the cut-off blade.
Note: Set the cut-off blade to 10 in. for greater runtime.
Set the cut-off blade to 12 in. for greater cutting area.
