moment of inattention while operating this machine can cause you to lose control & may result in series
personal injury.
5. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condition will reduce personal injuries.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing & gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. Prolonged use of the machine may lead to disorders of blood circulation in hands caused by vibration.
These effects can be worsened by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the handgrips excessively
tightly. Period of use you can extend with appropriate gloves or regular breaks. Take frequent work
breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is unsuitable for one type of
battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery. Use of any other battery may create a risk of
injury and fire
3. When the battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, which can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
5. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
LINE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the rotating spool. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be
cut when the spool is moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed materials. A moment of
inattention while operating the line trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
2. Carry the line trimmer by the handle with cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the line
trimmer always remove the battery. Proper handling of the line trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutter blades.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surface only, because the cutting device may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting devices contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.

RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as described, it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
1. The blades cannot be guarded whilst cutting. Contact with the blades can cause serious injury. Keep the
blade away from yourself and others. Cover it with the blade protector whenever not in use.
2. Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for the job, use designated handles and restrict
working time and exposure.
3. Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit exposure
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’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. There are measures that
can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
1. 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 Raynaud’s Syndrome.
2. After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
3. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately stop use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING:
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
DANGER OF FIRE!
Never charge batteries in the vicinity of acids or easily flammable materials.
Charge battery only at a temperature bet-ween 10 - 45 °C. After a heavy load, first allow the battery to cool.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Protect the device from direct exposure to heat and fire.
Do not place on heating units or expose to strong sunlight for an extended period.
Operate the device only at temperatures between -10 °C to + 45 °C..
RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT!
For disposal, transport or storage, pack the battery in a plastic bag or a cardboard box, or isolate the
contacts with adhesive tape.
Do not open the battery pack.
SAFE DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES

1. Push in the safety button with your thumb.
2. Pull the On/Off trigger upwards.
3. Release safety button.
Switching off:
1. Release the On/Off trigger.
NYLON LINE
Your trimmer uses 1.6mm diameter nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. In time, the tip of the
nylon line will become worn and the auto feed mechanism will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line.
The cutting line will wear faster if the cutting is done along pathways or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds
are being cut. The line will extend approximately ¼ in. with each stop and start of the switch trigger until the line
reaches the length of the guard blade. Do not bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other
purpose.
AUTOFEED NYLON LINE
When switching on the line trimmer, the inertia of the head spinning will feed a small length of line out.
An ‘impact’ noise can be heard when the nylon line hits the cutting knife, located on the shield. After a
minimal period, the nylon line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor
reaches operation speed. Make sure the motor is up to full speed before trimming or edging.
If the noise of the nylon line being cut cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed out. To feed more
line, it is first necessary to allow the machine to stop completely, then re-start, allowing it to reach full
speed.
MANUAL FEED NYLON LINE
You can manually feed out the nylon line. To do this, press & release manual feed button, whilst pulling
on the nylon line. Feed until the line reaches the cutting knife. If the line extends past the cutting knife,
remove the spool cap and click spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

LINE TRIMMING (STANDARD)
LINE TRIMMING (SLOPES & UNDER OBSTACLES)
Adjust the angle of the head up or down to ensure you have a clean and unobscured cutting angle.
TRIMMING EDGES
Press in and hold the locking button. Rotate the cutting head 180 degrees. Release the locking button.
Guide the unit, as shown, slowly along the edge of the lawn, using the side wheel. Ensure the Plant
Protector is placed in the upright position, against the motor housing.
CUTTING TIPS
Only cut with the left (shown here as light grey) area of the cutting unit when the unit is being moved
from right to left. In the right (dark grey) area, the threads rotate in your direction.
This represents a high level of kickback risk and objects may be thrown in your direction by the rotation of
the thread. You may be hurt as a result.
When the unit is moved from left to right, ensure that the nylon line is kept away from the grass to ensure
that the grass is not thrown up.
Cut long grass from top to bottom to ensure that the grass does not get tangled around the spool.
Only use the tip of the nylon line. You will use less nylon line & avoid grass getting caught up in the spool.
Only take the nylon line as close as necessary to posts, walls, fences etc. Solid objects will wear the nylon
line. Tree trunks, young trees and bushes may be damaged by the nylon line.
