• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks that may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Do not allow children or untrained
individuals to use this unit.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not handle battery or tool with wet

• Don’t use in the rain. Store indoors.
• Do not operate in poor lighting.
• Keep all parts of your body away from any
moving part.

of balance.
• Check Damaged Parts – Before further use
of the appliance, 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 alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other condition that
may affect its 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.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Keep hands and feet away from cutting
area.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close

toxic if swallowed.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries
near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly injury.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of
a source of ignition, such as pilot light. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the
presence of an open flame. An exploded
battery can propel debris and chemicals. If

clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and
substantial footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use the Correct Appliance – Do not use
appliance for any job except that for which
it is intended.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
• Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a re.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance
to re or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 265°F may
cause explosion.

contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals
varies depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to lter
out microscopic particles.
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is
not aware of the presence of children.

supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert and turn the trimmer off if a
child or any other person enters the
working area.
• Look behind and down for small
children before and while cutting

operation.
• Edger should be held at a comfortable
position with the rear handle about hip
height.
• The edger will edge along sidewalks,
driveways, ower beds, curbs, and similar
areas.
• Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins
