other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least

50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the

be picked up by the trimmer + edger and dispersed into

the air. These ying projectiles can cause blindness or

other bodily injury.

using the trimmer + edger to prevent head, hand, or feet

injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can

get caught in moving parts.

tting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and head

protection.

5. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job except

that for which they are intended.

6. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry the tool with

nger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is o before

inserting the battery.

7. Do not force the tool – It will do the job better and with

less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it

was designed.

8. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

9. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate the trimmer + edger when you are

tired, or under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

10. Disconnect the tool – Turn the trimmer + edger o and

remove the battery when: the unit is not in use; it is left

unattended; it is being examined because it is not working

correctly; the cutting line is being removed or changed;

or when the trimmer is being moved from one place to

another.

11. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should

be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out

of the reach of children.

12. Maintain tools with care – Keep cutting edges sharp

and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk

of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories. Inspect the trimmer + edger periodically and

replace if damaged. Repair the trimmer + edger only at an

authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean, and

free from oil and grease.

13. Checked for damaged parts – Before continuing to

use the trimmer + edger, a guard or other part that is

damaged should be carefully checked to determine that

it will operate properly and perform its intended function.

Check for the alignment of moving parts, binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other

condition that may aect the tool’s operation. A guard or

other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or

replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated

elsewhere in this manual.

mCAUTION! The safety guard is critical to the safety of

the operator and the safety of people standing within a safe

distance of the trimmer + edger. The safety guard keeps the

unit in good working order and must always be in place during

operation. Failure to have the guard in place during operation

is dangerous and will void the warranty.
