Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

◾

Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the trimmer when you are tired.

◾

Do not operate the trimmer while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

◾

◾

Maintain Trimmer With Care – Keep the cutting attachment clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

◾

Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the trimmer, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

◾

Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment. Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 15m away.

◾

Before using the machine and after any impact, check for signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary.

◾

Always hold the trimmer firmly, with both hands on the handles while operating. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles.

◾

Avoid Accidentally Starting – Don’t carry the trimmer with your finger on the trigger.

◾

Do not operate the trimmer in petrolic or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these appliances normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.

◾

Damage to Trimmer – If you strike a foreign object with the trimmer or it becomes entangled, stop the tool immediately, remove the battery pack from the line trimmer, check for damage and have any damage repaired before further operation is attempted. Do not operate with a broken guard or spool.

◾

If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor, remove the battery pack from the line trimmer, and check immediately for the cause.

Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A loose head may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer, which may result in serious or fatal injury.

Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly fixed in position. If the head loosens after fixing it in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with a loose cutting attachment.

◾

Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting head immediately, even if damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed and cause serious or fatal injury.

◾

Check the cutting attachment at regular short intervals during operation, or immediately if there is a noticeable change in cutting behavior.

◾

Only use EGO authorised polymer trimmer line accessories and trimmer line that are designed for use with this machine. Although certain unauthorised attachments might be fitted to the EGO line trimmer, their use may be extremely dangerous, and/or damaging to the tools.

◾

To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire or metal-reinforced line or other material in place of the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break off and be thrown at high speed toward the operator or bystanders.

◾

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or on any other insecure support.

Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.

◾

If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact the EGO Service

Center for assistance.

◾

Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet locations.

◾

Use only with EGO’s battery packs and chargers.
