CAUTION: Inspect area to be trimmed and
remove any wire, cord, or string-like objects which
could become entangled in the rotating line or spool.
Be particularly careful to avoid any wire which might
be bent outwardly into the path of the appliance, such
as barbs at the base of a chain link fence.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
(Fig. G)
NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is
fullycharged.
To install the battery pack
11
into the tool handle, align the
battery pack with the rails inside the tool’s handle and slide
it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in
the tool and ensure that it does notdisengage.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release
button
12
and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool
handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger
section of thismanual.

Switching Trimmer On and Off (Fig. A)
To turn the appliance on, squeeze the lock-off button
2
and then the variable speed trigger switch
1
. Once the unit
is running, you may release the lock-off button. To turn the
appliance off, release the variable speed trigger switch.

WARNING: Never attempt to lock the
trigger in the onposition.
Speed Control Switch (Fig. A, I)
This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a
more efficient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or
accelerate the trimmer speed for high-performancecutting.
To extend runtime, pull the speed control switch back
toward the battery housing
10
into the "LO" position. This
mode is best for larger projects that require more time
tocomplete.
To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed control
switch
3
forward toward the auxillary handle
4
into the
"HI" position. This mode is best to cut through heavier
growth and for applications that need higherRPM.
NOTE: When in "HI" mode, runtime will be decreased as
compared to when trimmer is in "LO"mode.
