SERVICE INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the unit.
• DO NOT allow the unit to be used as a toy.
• Please read the entire operator’s manual carefully before attempting to assemble, operate or
maintain the unit.
• Follow all safety instructions. Failure to do so can result in property damage or serious injury to
yourself and/or others.
• Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the unit. Know how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
• Stay alert! Do not operate the unit when tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
• Never allow children to operate the unit. Never allow adults to operate the unit without proper instruction.
• Make sure that all guards and safety attachments are properly installed before operating the unit.
• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use them to instruct other users. If loaning
someone this unit, also loan them these instructions.
• Keep bystanders, especially children and pets, at least 50 feet (15 m) away. If anyone enters the
work area, stop the unit!
• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not start the operation until the work
area is clear and free from obstructions and there is secure footing.
• Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection when operating this unit. Wear safety goggles, or
safety glasses with side shields, that are marked as meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989 standards. Failure
to do so could result in serious eye injury caused by thrown or falling objects. If the operation is
dusty, wear a face mask or dust mask.
• Dress appropriately. Wear non-slip protective gloves and boots. Do not wear loose clothing,
jewelry, short pants, sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
• Only use the unit in daylight or good artificial light.
• Only use the unit for its intended purpose. Only use the unit as described in this manual.
TRIMMER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Inspect the work area before using the unit. Remove any hard and/or sharp objects, such as metal,
glass, wire, etc. If thrown, such objects could cause property damage or injury to the operator or
bystanders.
• Only use original equipment manufacturer replacement cutting blades. Never use metal-reinforced
line, wire or rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.
• Keep the unit clean of vegetation and other materials that may become lodged between the
cutting head and shield. Keep vent openings clean and clear of debris.
• The cutting head shield must always be in place while operating the unit. Do not operate the unit
without the proper cutting blades installed.
• Extra caution is required when using the unit for edging purposes. There is an increased risk of
injury or property damage caused by thrown objects when the cutting head shield is not held
horizontal to the ground.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT over reach.
• DO NOT operate the unit on unstable surfaces, such as in trees or on ladders, slopes or rooftops.
Be very careful when using the unit on stairs.
• DO NOT handle the unit with wet hands.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain. Do not use the unit in damp or wet locations or conditions.
• DO NOT
operate the unit on wet surfaces.
• DO NOT use the unit in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• DO NOT operate a unit that is damaged, improperly adjusted or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the unit stops when the trigger is released. Do not use the unit if the switch
does not turn the unit on and off properly or if the switch lock does not work.
• DO NOT attempt operations beyond the operator’s capacity or experience.
• DO NOT operate the unit with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers or bystanders may result
from one-handed operation. This unit is intended for two-handed use. Grip the unit firmly with both
hands when the motor is running. Keep the left hand on the D-handle and the right hand on the shaft
grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the handles. Do not let go!
• DO NOT force the unit. It will do a better, safer job when used at the intended rate.
• Adjust the D-handle to provide the best grip.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all other body parts away from moving parts. Do not try to touch or
stop moving parts when they rotate.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with grounded conductors, such as metal pipes
or wire fences.
• Always stop the motor when operation is delayed, before setting down the unit or when walking from
one location to another. Make sure the unit comes to a complete stop.
•
To avoid accidental starting, never carry the unit with fingers on the switch trigger. Always carry the unit by the
handles with the battery removed.
•
Always make sure the lock-off button is in the locked or OFF position before installing or removing the battery.
• If the unit strikes or becomes entangled with a foreign object, stop the motor immediately, remove
the battery and check for damage. Do not restart or operate the unit before repairing damage.
