WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or
removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start‑up can cause injury. The powerhead can separate from the attachment by
turning the knob 20 counterclockwise, depressing the latching button 21 and gently pulling them apart by their poles 1 , 19 .

for proper assembly of most attachments. See specific attachment instructions for details.
NOTE: Ensure the attachment is fully engaged and the knob is fully tightened before operating. Check for proper engagement and tightness
during use.

applications that need higher RPM.
NOTE: When in “HI” mode, the runtime will be decreased as compared to when trimmer is in “LO” mode.
