USING THE STRING TRIMMER
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.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery pack from the
tool before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the unit.
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 feet (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 immediately.
Before each use check for damaged/worn parts
Check the trimmer head, guard, and front-assist handle and replace any parts that are
cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in any away.
The line-cutting blade 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.
Clean the trimmer after each use
See the Maintenance section for cleaning instruction.
WARNING:
Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Avoid using solvents when
cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents. Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
