Materials to Cut
• Thick grass, brush, weeds, small diameter trees and
saplings
Cutting Tips
• Make multiple passes in long growth to avoid block-
ages.
• Avoid ornamental trees, shrubs, and plantings. Avoid
contact with siding, fence posts, etc. They can all
be damaged by the tool.
• Inspect the tool for damage upon striking a hard
object or if there appears to be excessive vibration.
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.
Do not use blunt or damaged
WARNING
blades. Blunt or damaged blades
increase the risk of jamming or catching on an
object, resulting in blade thrust.
Replacing the Blade
The blade should be inspected before each use. If the
blade chips or becomes dull, it should be replaced.
For instructions on removing and installing the blade,
please see the "Installing/Removing the Blade" sec-
tion of this manual.
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.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from any vents. Keep tool
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 authorized service center.
