TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 6.
Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured before
beginning operation.
WARNING:
Make sure the latches on the battery pack snap in place
and the battery pack is fully seated and secure in the
trimmer battery port before beginning operation. Failure
to securely seat the battery pack could cause the battery
pack to fall out, resulting in serious personal injury.
NOTE: To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack and keep hands clear of the lock-out button
when carrying or transporting the tool.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 6.
Depress the latches on each side of the battery pack.
Remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator’s
manuals for your battery pack and charger.
STARTING/STOPPING THE LAWN TRIMMER
See Figure 7.
To start the lawn trimmer, push the lock-out button and
pull the switch trigger.
To stop the lawn trimmer, release the switch trigger.
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.
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.
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 from the trimmer.
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.
OPERATION
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 9.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The lawn trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to
left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid
cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 9.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even break-
age. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, sid-
ing, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
ADVANCING CUTTING LINE ON THE AUTO-
FEED HEAD
NOTE: The trimmer is equipped with an auto-feed head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage
the trimmer and void the warranty.
With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
Wait two seconds for the string head to come to a com-
plete stop, then press the switch trigger.
NOTE: The line will extend approximately 1/2 in. with each
stop and start of the switch trigger until the line reaches
the length of the grass deflector cut-off blade.
Repeat the previous steps until the line is long enough
to reach the cut-off blade, which will cut the line to the
appropriate length.
NOTE: The line will make noise as it is being cut. Continue
cutting when the noise stops, signaling the string is cut
to the proper length.
Resume trimming.
ADVANCING THE LINE MANUALLY
See Figure 10.
Remove the battery pack.
Push the button located on the string head while pulling
on the line to manually advance the line.
NOTE: Pull only enough line to reach the cut-off blade
plus or minus an inch. After releasing the button, tug
slightly to make sure there is no loose string remaining
inside the spool.
Reinstall battery pack.
Run the string trimmer to allow the line to be cut by the
cut-off blade.
