or replaced by an authorized service center unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.
◾Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure.
Be sure the cutting attachment shield is properly
attached and in the position recommended by the
manufacturer.
◾Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove
all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire,
or string, which can be thrown or become entangled
in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children,
bystanders and pets. At a minimum, keep all children,
bystanders and pets outside a 15 m (50 ft) radius;
outside the 15 m (50 ft) zone, there is still a risk of

repaired before further operation is attempted. Do not
operate with a broken guard or cutting attachment.
◾If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor, remove the battery pack from the
brushcutter and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A loose
cutting unit may vibrate, crack, break or come off the
brushcutter, which may result in serious or fatal injury.
Make sure that the cutting unit is properly installed
and securely fastened. If the cutting unit loosens after
xing it in position, replace it immediately. Never use a
brushcutter with a loose cutting unit.
◾Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting
unit immediately, even if damage is limited to
supercial cracks. Such unit may shatter at high
speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
◾To reduce the risk of injury, never work on a ladder
or on any other insecure support. Never hold the
cutting unit above waist height.
◾Never use other wires in place of the nylon cutting
lines, pieces of wire could break off and be thrown
at high speed toward the operator or bystanders.
◾Keep rm footing and balance. Do not over-reach.
Keep cutting unit below waist level. Keep all parts of
your body away from the rotating cutting unit.
◾Check the cutting unit at regular short intervals
during operation, or immediately if there is a
noticeable change in cutting behavior.
◾Only use EGO authorized polymer trimmer line and
blade accessories, trimmer line and blade that are
designed for use with this brushcutter. Although
certain unauthorized units might be extremely
dangerous, and/or damaging to the tools.
◾If you are approached, stop the motor and cutting unit.
◾Warn the operator of the danger of blade thrust
(only using with 3-teeth blade).
◾Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade
contacts an object that it does not immediately cut.
◾Blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the unit
and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly lose control of the unit.

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION REAR MOTOR BIKE-HANDLE BRUSHCUTTER — BC3800E 11
◾Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade
snags, stalls or binds.
◾Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it
is difcult to see the material being cut.
◾Do not attach any blade to a unit without proper
installation of all required parts. Failure to use the
proper parts can cause the blade to y off and
seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders.
Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked,
broken, or damaged in any way. Use a sharp blade.
A dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust (only
using with 3-teeth blade).
◾The battery pack shall be disposed of safely.
◾A coasting blade/line can cause injury while it
continues to spin after the motor is stopped or
trigger is released. Maintain proper control until
the blade/line has completely stopped rotating.
◾Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet
locations.
◾Use only with EGO’s battery packs and chargers listed

After each use, clean the brushcutter
USING WITH TRIMMER HEAD
Adjusting cutting line length
The trimmer head allows the operator to release more
cutting line without stopping the motor. As line becomes
frayed or worn, additional line can be released by lightly
tapping the bump knob on the ground while operating the
trimmer (Fig. V).
NOTICE: Line release will become more difcult if the
cutting line becomes too short.
WARNING: Do not remove or alter the line-cutting
blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the mo-
tor to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
Line Replacement
NOTICE: Always use the recommended nylon cutting
line with a diameter that does not exceed 2.4 mm. Using
line other than that specied may cause the brushcutter
to overheat or become damaged.
WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
or rope, etc. These can break off and become dangerous
projectiles.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the remaining cutting line, if necessary.
3. Rotate the spool retainer in the direction indicated by the
arrow, as necessary, to align the LOAD line on the spool
retainer with the eyelets in the spool base (Fig. W-1).
4. Cut 5m of cutting line, and insert the line into the
mounting hole inside the eyelet (Fig. W-2). Push and
pull the line from the other side until equal amounts
of line appear on both sides of the spool (Fig. W-3).
5. Press, while rotating the spool retainer in the arrow
direction, to wind the line onto the spool until
approximately 14cm of line is showing on each side
(Fig. W-4).
6. Push the spool retainer down while pulling on the
lines to manually advance the line and to check for
proper assembly of the trimmer head.
When the cutting line breaks from the line outlet or the
cutting line is not released when tapping the trimmer
head, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Press the release tabs on the spool retainer and
remove the spool retainer by pulling it straight out
(Fig. H-1 & H-2).
3. Remove the cutting line from the spool retainer.
4. With one hand holding the spool base, use the other
hand to grasp the spool retainer and align the tabs
on the spool retainer with the holes in the spool base
(Fig. X-1); use your palm to press and rotate the
spool retainer left and right until the tabs lock with
the spool base (Fig. X-2).
5. Reload the cutting line.

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION REAR MOTOR BIKE-HANDLE BRUSHCUTTER — BC3800E 15
USING WITH 3-TEETH METAL
WARNING: To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the
rotating 3-teeth blade down onto the growth to achieve a
chopping effect. Use the brushcutter like a scythe (sweep
it to the right and left) at ground level. Do not use the
cutting unit above waist height.
WARNING: The higher the cutting unit is off the
ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings being
thrown sideways.
WARNING: When cutting young trees or other woody
materials up to 2cm in diameter, use the left side of the
blade to avoid blade thrust situations. Do not attempt
to cut woody material with a larger diameter, since the
blade may catch or jerk the brushcutter forward. This may
cause damage to the blade or the brushcutter or loss of
control of the brushcutter, resulting personal injury.
WARNING: Improper use of a blade may cause it to
crack, chip, or shatter. Thrown parts may seriously injure
the operator or bystander. To reduce the risk of personal
injury, it is essential to take the following precautions:
◾Avoid contact with hard or solid foreign objects such as
stones, rocks or pieces of metal.
◾Never cut wood or shrubs with a stem diameter of
more than 2cm.
◾Inspect the blade at a regular short interval for signs of
damage. Do not continue working with a damaged blade.
◾Re-sharpen the blade regularly (when it has dulled
noticeably) and have it balanced if necessary
(performed by a qualied service technician).
Blade Thrust
Exercise extreme caution when using the 3-teeth blade
with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur
when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut.
This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant
and suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that
was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust can occur
without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is
more likely to occur in areas where it is difcult to see the
material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach
the weeds being cut with the brushcutter from the right to
the left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock
is encountered, this practice could minimise the blade
thrust reaction.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing
the unit, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the battery pack. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualied
service technician.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEAN THE MACHINE
◾After each use of 3-teeth blade / trimmer head, clean
the debris, clogged soils or grass on the blade and
guard with a soft brush.
NOTICE: When the line-cutting blade becomes dull,
please sharpen it performed by a qualied service
technician or replace with a new line-cutting blade as
necessary.
◾After each use of brushcutter, clean the cutting unit
using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
◾Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. They can be damaged by certain
aromatic oils, such as pine and lemon, and by solvents
such as kerosene. Moisture can also cause a shock
hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
◾Use a small brush or a small vacuum cleaner to clean
the air vents on the rear housing.
STORING THE MACHINE
◾Remove the battery pack from the tool.
◾Wear heavy gloves to clean the tool thoroughly.
◾Mount the blade sheath onto the 3-teeth blade for safe
storage (Fig. Y).
◾Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area, locked-up
or up high, out of the reach of children. Do not store
the machine on or adjacent to fertilisers, petrol, or
other chemicals.
