WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep all bystanders (especially children and pets) at
least 15m away from the work area. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, 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 overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
Your trimmer has been engineered and manufactured to
a high standard for dependability, ease of operation, and
operator safety. When properly cared for, it will give you
years of rugged, trouble-free performance. Thank you for
buying a Greenworks tools product.
Save this manual for future reference.
INTRODUCTION
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced understanding, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
This product has many features for making its use
more pleasant and enjoyable.
Safety, performance, and dependability have been
given top priority in the design of this product making it
easy to maintain and operate.
INTENDED USE
This trimmer is designed for cutting grass and soft
vegetation alike and for trimming grass edges in
private garden areas which are not accessible with a
lawnmower.
Its cutting plane should always be approximately
parallel to the ground. If it is not used in this way, the
possibility of injury to persons and property by thrown
objects significantly increased.
The device is not allowed to be used in public gardens,
parks, sports centres or at roadsides as well as in
agriculture and forestry.
This trimmer is not allowed to be used for cutting or
chopping hedges, shrubs, bushes, and flowers. It
should never be used with the cutting means rotating
vertically.
The national regulation can restrict the use of the
machine.

fatigue and make it easier to use trimmer head and
brush cutter for extended periods.
Place the pad on your shoulder and adjust your
positioning to get yourself comfortable and balanced.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or 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.
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

of children.
Grass trimmers should only be repaired by an
authorized repairer.
Use only manufacturers recommended replacement
parts and accessories.
WARNING
The cutter head will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after switching off.
It has been reported that vibrations from the tools
may contribute to a condition called Greenworks
tools’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms
may include tingling, numbness and blanching of
thefingers,usuallyapparentuponexposuretocold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness,
diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to
contribute to the development of these symptoms. It
is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent
of exposure may contribute to the condition. There
are measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Greenworks tools’s Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
physician about these symptoms.

moved from right to left.
Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not
force cutting head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and
wood may wear cutting line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
cutting line.
Attach metal knob to the rubber hole on the rear handle
