SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.Work area safety
a) Keep 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 ammable liquids, gases 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.
2. Electrical safety
a) The charger’s plug must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools.Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b) Use this battery-operated tool only with its specically
designated battery pack. The use of any other batteries may
create a risk of re.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specied
charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of re when used with another
battery.
3. 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 inuence 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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before inserting the battery, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
f) Exercise care in handling batteries. Not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The
battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
g) Be aware of your working environment. Batteries can explode
in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless
product in the presence of open ame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water
immediately.
h) Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp
blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose
4

ENGLISH
of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
i) Proper charging temperature. For best results, your battery pack
should be charged in a location where the temperature is between
41°F and 104°F(5°C to 40°C). Charging time will be increased if
the battery is charged in lower or higher temperature.
j) Pay attention to battery leakage. Under extreme usage or
temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes
in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your
eyes, ush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then,
seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
6. Charger Safety Rules
a) Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger
on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and
result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position
away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots
in the top and the bottom of the housing.
b) Do not mount charger on wall or permanently afx charger to
any surface. The charger is intended to use on a at, stable
surface (i.e., table top, bench top).

Note: Trimming tips
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut, this is the most
efcient cutting area.
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will
avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting, do not force string head into
uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone
and brick walls, curbs and wood may wear string rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding and fence
posts can easily be damaged by the strings.

FRANÇAIS
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
1. Sécurité de l'aire de travail
a) Vériez toujours que la zone de travail soit propre et dégagée.
Les zones surchargées et désordonnées sont sujettes aux
accidents.
b) Ne jamais faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans une
atmosphère explosive, comme par exemple en cas de
présence de liquides inammables, de gaz ou de poussière.
Les outils électriques génèrent des étincelles, qui peuvent
enammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.
c) Maintenez les enfants et les passants à distance lorsque vous
faites fonctionner un outil électrique. Les distractions peuvent
vous faire perdre le contrôle de l’outil.
2. Sécurité électrique
a) La che du chargeur doit correspondre à la prise de courant.
Ne modiez jamais la che de quelque façon que ce soit. N’utilisez
pas d’adaptateur avec des outils électriques reliés à la terre.
b) N’utilisez un outil fonctionnant à piles qu’avec le bloc-piles
spécique à cet outil. L’utilisation de toute autre pile peut
provoquer un risque d’incendie.
c) N’exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité.
De l’eau pénétrant dans un outil électrique accroît le risque de
choc électrique.
d) Un outil fonctionnant à pile, que ce soit une pile intégrée ou
un bloc-piles séparé, doit être rechargé uniquement avec le
chargeur spécique à la pile. Un chargeur approprié à un certain
type de pile peut provoquer un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé
avec une autre pile.
3. Sécurité personnelle
a) Restez alerte, surveillez vos gestes et faites preuve de
bon sens lorsque vous utilisez cet outil. N’utilisez pas cet
outil lorsque vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'effet de drogues, de
médicaments ou d’alcool. Un moment d’inattention pendant que
