tery pack and keep hands clear of the lock out trigger

als for your battery pack and charger.
STARTING/STOPPING THE LAWN TRIMMER

OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 8.
Follow these tips when using the lawn trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle.
NOTE: Always wait for the motor to stop and remove the
battery prior to adjusting the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
Avoid resting the string head on the ground during
operation.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the boom housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
Remove the battery pack.
Remove the grass.
WARNING:
Always hold the lawn trimmer away from the body keep-
ing clearance between the body and the lawn trimmer.
Any contact with the lawn trimmer cutting head while
operating can result in serious personal injury.
