SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
20. Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may
be toxic if swallowed.
21. Exercise care in handling batteries
in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
22. Do not operate the trimmer while under
the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
23. 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. Make sure that other
persons and pets are at least 100 ft. (30.5m)
away.
24. Always hold the trimmer rmly,
with both hands on the handles, while
operating. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
25. To reduce the risk of injury from loss
of control, never work on a ladder or on
any other insecure support. Never hold the
cutting attachment above waist height.
26. Do not operate the trimmer in gaseous
or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
appliances normally spark, and the sparks
might ignite fumes.
27. Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves,
boots, and gloves. Avoid loose garments
or jewelry that could get caught in moving
parts of the machine or its motor.
28. Damage to trimmer. If you strike
a foreign object with the trimmer or
it becomes entangled, stop the tool
immediately, check for damage and
have any damage repaired before further
operation is attempted. Do not operate with
a broken guard or spool.
29. If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
30. A loose head may vibrate, crack, break
or come off the trimmer, which may result
in serious or fatal injury. Make sure that
the cutting attachment is properly xed in
position. If the head loosens after fixing it in
position, replace it immediately.
31. Never use a trimmer with a loose
cutting attachment.
32. Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-
out cutting head immediately, even if
damage is limited to supercial cracks.
Such attachments may shatter at high
speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
33. Check the cutting attachment at
regular short intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable change
in cutting behavior.
34. When replacing the cutting line, use
triangle-shaped twisted nylon cutting
line with a size that does not exceed
0.08 in. (2.0 mm); using heavier lines
than recommended by the manufacturer
increases the load on the motor and
reduces its operating speed. This results in
overheating and damage to the trimmer.
35. To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never use wire or metal-reinforced line or
other material in place of the nylon cutting
lines. Pieces of wire could break off and be
thrown at high speed toward the operator or
bystanders.
36. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other
accessory or attachment which is not
recommended for use with this tool may
increase the risk of injury.
37. Do not wash with a hose; avoid getting
water in motor and electrical connections.
38. Save these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you lend this tool to
someone else, also lend these instructions
to them to prevent misuse of the product
and possible injury.
