KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
The guard must be installed before trimming or edging - if not, the
motor will overheat (page 7).
When replacing the line, use only .065 inch diameter ROUND line
(B+D Model #AF-100 is recommended) - otherwise the appliance will
not function properly (page 11).
Do not bump the feed head against the ground - it will disrupt the
feed mechanism.
For use only with lithium-ion 20v MAX* batteries.
