OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Using the String Trimmer
Check for damaged/worn parts before each use
WARNING
• To prevent serious personal injury, remove the
battery pack from the tool before servicing,
cleaning, changing attachments or removing
material from the unit.
Check the bump head, guard (J) and front-assist
handle (G) and replace any parts that are cracked,
warped, bent, or damaged in any away.
The line-cutting blade (K) on the edge of the guard
can dull over time. It is recommended that you
periodically sharpen it with a file or replace it with
a new blade.
WARNING
• Always wear gloves when mounting or replacing
the guard or when sharpening or replacing the
blade. Note the location of the blade on the
guard and protect your hand from injury.
Tips for best trimming results
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. Wear proper clothing and footwear during operation to reduce the risk of
injury that may be caused by flying debris.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear
the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and
pets at least 100 ft. (30.5 m) 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. The correct angle for the cutting attachment is
parallel to the ground.
• This string trimmer allows you to rest the bump knob (F) on the ground for more comfortable
operation.
• 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 8 in. (200 mm) should be cut by working from top to the bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or motor drag.
