We recommend that you purchase your accessories from the same store that sold you the tool. Use good quality accessories marked with a well-known brand name. Choose the type according to the work you intend to undertake. Refer to the accessory packaging for further details. Store personnel can assist you and offer advice.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

Edging
Trimming
The charger and battery pack are specially designed to work together so do not attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into your charger or battery pack connections because of an electrical failure and hazard will occur.
Always wear the eye protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury. When operating unit, check for the following:
Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold front handle with one hand and auxiliary handle with the other hand. Keep unit below waist level. Work only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.
Make sure that line is fed out before operation. Make sure motor is up to full speed before trimming or edging.
Use only 0.065"(1.65mm) cutting line, diameter line. Other sizes of line will not feed properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other material such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous projectile that can cause serious injury.
TRIMMING
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about just above the ground and at a slight angle. Allow only the tip of line to make contact with the grass. Let the trimmer line work at its own pace. Do not force trimmer line into work area.
Edging (See Fig. J)
Change the tool from trimming to edging mode by putting one foot on the motor housing portion of the trimmer head (20) while gripping the main handle/upper shaft apply adequate force on the upper handle pushing it downwards, as shown in Fig H1. Make sure to adjust trimmer head angle to be in the lowest horizontal setting. Then, holding the lower housing then pull upwards the upper shaft, then rotate 90 degree clockwise. (Fig. F1)
Then position the wheel on the ground for edge mode. The guard has two white line guides to indicate the cutting line position. Align these marks with the edge of your lawn. While edging, only allow the tip of the line to make contact with area being worked. Do not force the line. The edging wheels help protect the unit and keep the unit from contacting the ground. Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. Each time the tools is started from rest it will advance about.25 inches of trimmer line. A 'clattering' noise will be heard when the lines hit the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this is quit normal. After about 5 seconds the line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor receives full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can't be heard, more line will need to be fed out. To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow the trimmer to stop completely; it must come to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed. Repeat above until you hear the line hitting against the line cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)
TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (See Fig. K1)
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery If required, line can be feed out manually To operate, press and release manual line feed button (16), while gently pulling out the line until it is long enough to reach the line cutter. If the line extends past the line cutter, too much line has been fed out. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap and turn spool counter-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.
TO REMOVE THE CAP (See Fig. K2)
Press and hold in the two latches (12). Pull spool cap cover away from the spool holder
When refitting the spool cap.
Keep all areas of the cap and spool holder clean. Replace the cap, pressing firmly down towards the spool holder to ensure cap is fully located into position.
Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to remove it without depressing the two latches.
TO REPLACE THE TRIMMER LINE
Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery.
Remove spool cap cover.
For your convenience it is recommended you buy replacement spools with the trimmer line preinstalled.
TO FIT SPOOL AND LINE ASSEMBLY (See Fig. K3)
Remove old spool from spool holder. Clear any broken line or cutting debris from the spool area. Pull the line from the new replacement spool through the eyelet of the spool holder. Place new spool into holder with cut out areas of the spool facing inward or down. When installed into the spool holder, the smooth side of the spool should be visible.
Release line from cleat on the spool. Refit the cap.
TO FIT NYLON LINE ONLY
Take approximately 10ft (3m) of line. Insert 5/8"(15mm )of line into the spool holes and wind line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the spool. Your Trimmer is designed to use only line with a maximum diameter of 0.065" / 1.65mm.
Leave approximately 4" (100mm) of line unwound and place into cleat.
Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed. Then fit spool as described in "To fit spool and line assembly".
After use, disconnect the battery from the tool and check for damage. Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry room temperature location. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
The following table gives checks and actions that you can perform if your machine does not operate correctly. If these do not identify and correct the problem, contact your service agent.
Switch the machine off and remove the battery prior to any troubleshooting.
Problems | Possible Causes | Corrective action |
Trimmer fails to operate. | Battery discharged. Battery too hot/cold. Motor is broken. Internal wiring of machine damaged. |
Recharge battery; also see "HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY" in charger manual. Allow to cool/warm. Contact Service Agent. Contact Service Agent. |
Trimmer runs intermittently. | Motor is broken. Battery not fully charged. On/Off switch defective. |
Contact Service Agent. Recharge battery. Contact Service Agent. |
Excessive vibrations/noise. | Machine defective. Line spool is not wound well. |
Contact Service Agent. Rewind the line. See ''To fit spool and line assembly.'' |
Cutting time per battery charge too low. | Battery has not been used for long period or only charged for short term. Grass too high. Battery defective. |
Fully charge battery; also see "HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY" in charger manual. Cut in stages. Replace the battery. |
Machine does not cut. | Line broken. Battery not fully charged. Motor is broken (speed is too low). Grass entangled around cutting head. |
Replace the line. Recharge battery; also see "HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY" in charger manual. Contact Service Agent. Remove grass. |
Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator No charging procedure possible. |
Battery not (properly) inserted. Battery contacts contaminated. Battery defective. |
