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.
◾
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STRING TRIMMER
◾
When replacing the cutting line, use no more than 0.105 in(2.7 mm) nylon
line; using heavier lines than recommended by the manufacturer increases the
load on the motor and reduces its operating speed. This results in overheating
and damage to the trimmer.
◾
To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire or metal-reinforced line
or other material in place of the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could
break off and be thrown at high speed toward the operator or bystanders.
◾
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting head immediately, even if
damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high
speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
◾
If the power tool should start to vibrate abnormally or become noisy, stop
the motor and check immediately for the cause. Abnormal noise is generally a
warning of trouble.
◾
Make sure all proper guards and other safety devices are properly and
securely attached before using this product. Do not operate without guards
in place.
◾
Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet locations.
◾
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.
◾
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
◾
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,
they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even
when the tool is not operating. Take care when performing maintenance or
service.
