Working Advice

Cutting grass

1. Always hold the trimmer at a safe distance from body and adopt a safe stance.

2. Switch on the unit.

3. Hold the trimmer at an angle of about 20' to the ground and guide the trimmer in a semicircular motion

around your standing position.

NOTE: For a good cutting performance, cut high grass in stages. Starting from the tip.

Trimming Edges

This grass trimmer can be not only used for trimming grass but also used for cutting the lawn edge. Especially,

when the lawn edge is close to wall, fence, etc. The edging function of this device is very helpful, to deal with this

kind of situation.

1. To convert to cutting edge function (see Fig. 9 & 11):

2. Depress the edging function convert button and hold it in place.

3. Turn the operating handle by 90°, for changing its function to edging mode. Then release the edging function

covert button to lock it in place. Now you have converted the grass trimmer to an edge trimmer for cutting the

lawn edge.

LT3 Line Trimmer Kit

NOTE: While edging, only allow the tip of the line to make contact with the area being worked. Do not

force the line. The edging wheel helps to protect the unit and keep the unit from contacting the ground.

Take extra caution while edging as objects can be throw from the trimmer line.

TIPS:

•

For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the cutting head and guard, prevents

proper discharge of grass trimmings, and could cause you to slip and fall.

•

Pay special attention when performing the work close to trees and bushes. The cutting head could damage

sensitive bark, and damage fence posts.

•

Use the flower protector to avoid cutting device contact with hard objects such as walls and stones.

Replacing the Nylon Line Spool

WARNING! Before performing any assembly, always ensure that the battery pack has been removed. If

the nylon cutting line is broken and the nylon spool needs replacing. Never use steel, wire, rope, string,

etc. which can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

1. Press together both locking devices at the spool cover and remove the spool cover, remove the old spool.

2. Thread the new/refilled spool line through the eyehole in the trimmer head.

3. Fit the line spool in the trimmer head.

4. Refit the line spool cover.

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the

battery must be charged for 60 minutes on the initial charge and 60 minutes for each subsequent

charge.

2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully

charge the battery before storing.

3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit

when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat; for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.
