OPERATION
USING THE STRING TRIMMER
FIG. 9
CHECK FOR DAMAGED/WORN
PARTS BEFORE EACH USE
WARNING:
To prevent serious
personal injury, remove the battery pack
from the tool before servicing, cleaning,
changing attachments or removing
material from the unit.
Check the bump 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.
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RE-
SULTS
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. Wear proper
clothing and footwear during operation
to reduce the risk of injury that may be
caused by ying debris.
• 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 ft. (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 and cutting attachment immediately.
The correct angle for the cutting attachment is
parallel to the ground.
• This string trimmer allows you to rest
the bump knob on the ground for more
comfortable operation.
• Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very
tip of the line to do the cutting (especially
along walls). Cutting with more than the
tip will reduce cutting efciency and may
overload the motor.
• The cutting height is determined by the
distance of the cutting line from the lawn
surface.
• Grass over 8 in. (200 mm) should be cut
by working from top to the bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or
motor drag.
