FOR ALL BATTERY – OPERATED GARDENING
ProductS:
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the trigger
is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the product. Carrying
the product with your finger on the trigger or
energizing product that have the trigger on invites
accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the product
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing product. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
product accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer .A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
4. Use products only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
5. 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 fire.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or product that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or product to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or product outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the product
or the battery pack (as applicable) except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
LAWN EDGER SAFETY

OPERATION INSTRUCTION
NOTE: The edger is a major product and should
not be operated simultaneously with other major
products on the same household circuit.
WARNING: Make sure that other persons and
pets are at least 100 feet away.
EDGING
1. Before starting the edger, line up the tool so the
edge guide rests against the edge of the paved
surface. Both rear wheels should be on the
paved surface when edging. (See Fig. I)
2. To avoid kickback of edger, tilt the handle down
so the blade is above the ground.
3. Turn trigger ON and allow blade to spin without
moving tool.
4. Slowly lift the handle to lower the blade, finding
the edge of the paved surface and start edging.
Then move tool forward slowly along edge of
paved surface, keeping the edge guide pressed
lightly against the pavement edge. For the
first edging each season, it is best to move
forward slowly because grass is thickest then.
Subsequent edging will be completed more
rapidly. If the tool slows down, back it up an
inch or two until the blade comes up to normal
speed. During edging some sparks may be
generated from hitting stones. This is normal.
Do not attempt to edge when the grass or soil
is wet or moist—for electrical safety and to
prevent clogging of the blade chamber. If you
must edge under conditions that cause the blade
chamber to become clogged, release trigger, wait
for blade to come to complete stop! REMOVE
BATTERY! And remove clogged material with a
stick. To continue to operate the tool in a clogged
condition will seriously overload the motor.
WARNING: Do not attempt to unclog the blade
chamber by dropping or tapping the tool on
the ground. This can damage the unit. Keep
hands clear of edge guide and blade when cleaning
as these wear to a very sharp point during edging.
TRENCHING AND LANDSCAPING OPERATION
The edger can also be used for trenching. The blade
will leave a small trench for placing
wire underground.
Because of the direction of the blade rotation the
edger can kickback towards the operator if it hits an
obstruction such as thick, matted grass. Keep a firm
grasp on the handle,especially when trenching in
thick, matted material.
The edger can be used in landscaping applications,
including cutting along the edges
of ower and shrubbery beds, around trees, and
cutting in preparation for sod removal.
Before trenching, inspect and ensure there are no
exposed or buried cables, pipes or other objects that
may create a hazard or interfere with operating the
edger.
Set depth to only that required for the job.
REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE BLADE
Before attempting to remove or install the blade,
locate the shaft-lock hole and insert the hex key to
lock the blade from spinning (See Fig. K).
The blade, two spacers, and hex head nut with
conical washer should be installed/removed in the
order shown (See Fig. L). Check that the blade has
been properly installed before use.
NOTE: The blade has two wear indicators that
indicate replacement - when the blade wears to the
small holes, the blade should be replaced.
5.STORAGE
WARNING! Disconnect the battery from the
tool.Remove and clean any debris from the
outside of the edger and inside of guard before
storage. See MAINTENANCE section. If necessary,
the edger may be stored by hanging on a hook by its
handle.
WARNING: DO NOT HANG EDGER ON THE
Trigger TRIGGER !
NOTE: Do not store the tool on or adjacent to
fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid
corrosion.

5.MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
should be performed by authorized service centers
or other qualified service organizations. Use only
identical replacement parts. Inspect and thoroughly
clean your edger at the beginning of each edging
season for longer life and better performance.
