OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Holding the String 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, long
pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear short pants
or sandals or go barefoot.
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating
position and check that:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and
proper clothing.
• One arm is slightly bent, and the hand on that arm is holding the rear handle.
• The other arm is straight, with that hand holding the front-assist handle.
• The trimmer head is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the material to be cut without
the operator having to bend over.
6. To Start/Stop the String Trimmer
Before starting the string trimmer:
• Make sure that you have a secure and balanced
footing.
• Stand upright and hold the string trimmer in a
relaxed position.
• Make sure that the cutting line is not touching
the ground or any other objects.
• Hold the string trimmer with both hands: one
hand on the rear handle (C) and one hand on
the front-assist handle (H).
a. To turn the string trimmer ON, press down
the lock-off button (A) and then depress the
variable-speed trigger switch (B).
b. The variable-speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure
and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.
c. To turn it off, release the variable-speed trigger switch and allow the trimmer to come to a
complete stop.
WARNING
• Always remove the battery pack from the string trimmer during work breaks and after
finishing work.
