Safety instructions
---General safety instructions
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 your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery pack-operated (cordless) power tool.
·This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

3
·Only use the product in the manner and for the functions described in these
instructions.
Work area safety
·Keep the 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 children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. 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 the risk of electric shock.
·Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
·Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
·When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
·If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
·It is recommended that appliances should be supplied via a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA.

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 masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, 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 the 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.
·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.
·Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
·Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Power 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.

5
· 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 parts 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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Trimming tips:
-Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut. This is the most efficient cutting
area.
-The string trimmer cuts when moving 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 the string head into uncut
grass.
-Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, and 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.
2. Converting to edging mode (Fig. 8 & 9)
-Hold the Main Handle, pull the button on the tube end backward, and rotate the
tube by 90°.
-Release the button to fix the edging mode and position the trimmer with flower
Guard to operate as a maintenance edger
-Restart the machine after a complete stop. It will feed the spool line automatically.
-Return to the trimming position by reverse rotation after pulling the button
backward.

19
NOTE: The cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting or
edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or if heavier weeds are
being cut.
Setting the handle length
Turn the lock sleeve towards the 'unlock' symbol about half a turn. Slide the lower
part of the trimmer up or down to the desired length. Lock it in position by turning
