Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1.
Work area safety
A.
Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
B.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
C.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
D.
Avoid dangerous environments.
Do not use appliances in damp or wet locations.
2.
Personal safety
A.
Stay alert; watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
B.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
C.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the O
FF position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack and picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
C.
Remove the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
D.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
E.
Store idle appliances indoors.
When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of the reach of children.

Operating Tips
• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
• The string trimmer cuts when you move it from left to right. This prevents the trimmer from throwing debris at you.
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force the string head into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences can cause the string to wear rapidly and even break. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood can also cause the string to wear rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. The string can easily damage tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts.

Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any time there is an accumulation of debris.
4.
Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or lost, repair or replace it.
