or install the battery onto the tool until you have read and understand
this instruction manual. Learn the tool's applications and limitations,
as well as the general and specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following these instructions will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire

WARNING: Always wear appropriate eye protection. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent
eye damage. ALWAYS wear appropriate safety goggles or properly
fitted safety glasses that comply with the most recent version of
ANSI Z87.1 safety standards. Ordinary vision or sunglasses generally
do not provide adequate impact or side shield / wrap around penetration
protection. Ordinary glasses ARE NOT safety glasses. To reduce the risk of
injury to your face you should also wear a face shield over your safety
goggles or safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses, goggles or face shields not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 or CAN/CSA – Z94.3 could cause serious injury if they
break upon impact.

gloves and to improve your grip and control when handling the grass
trimmer.
Cover as much of your body as possible to help protect you from debris and
pieces of toxic and allergenic plants being thrown by the grass trimmer.
WARNING: Use hearing protection. Use hearing protection
such as ear plugs or ear mu ers to protect your hearing, particularly if
the trimmer is used for extensive periods or if the surrounding environ-
ment of operation exposes the operator to loud noises. When wearing
hearing protection, you will have impaired ability to hear alarms,
warnings and shouts from approaching people or approaching vehicles.
Be extra diligent and observant of hazards and bystanders when
wearing hearing protection devices. When someone approaches, turn
the trimmer OFF immediately.
WARNING: Never use fixed blades or metal saw blades with
this trimmer. Serious injury may result. Never use wire or
metal-reinforced line or other material in place of the polymer
trimmer line. Pieces of wire or metal reinforced line can break o
