56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION COMMERCIAL CORDLESS LINE TRIMMER — STX4500

4. Follow the instructions in “Line replacement” to
reload the cutting line.
Tips for best trimming results
◾ The correct angle for the cutting attachment is parallel
to the ground.
◾ Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line
to do the cutting (especially along walls). Cutting with
more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and
may overload the motor.
◾ The cutting height is determined by the distance of the
cutting line from the lawn surface.
◾ Grass over 8 inches (20 cm) should be cut by working
from top to the bottom in small increments to avoid
premature line wear or motor drag.
◾ Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area
being cut, maintaining the cutting head position at the
desired cutting height. This movement can be either
a forward-backward motion or a side-to-side motion.
Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
◾ Avoid trimming when grass and weeds are wet.
◾ Wire and picket fences can cause extra string wear or
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear strings rapidly.
◾ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
strings.
USING WITH BRUSH CUTTER HEAD
WARNING: To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the
rotating 3-tooth blade down onto the growth to achieve a
chopping effect. Use the brush cutter like a scythe (sweep
it to the right and left) at ground level. Do not use the
cutting unit above waist height.
WARNING: The higher the cutting unit is off the
ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings being
thrown sideways.
WARNING: When cutting young stands or other
woody materials up to 2cm in diameter, use the left side of
the blade to avoid blade thrust situations. Do not attempt
to cut woody material with a larger diameter, since the
blade may catch or jerk the brush cutter forward. This
may cause damage to the blade or the brush cutter or loss
of control of the brush cutter, resulting personal injury.
WARNING: Improper use of a blade may cause it to
crack, chip, or shatter. Thrown parts may seriously injure
the operator or bystander. To reduce the risk of personal
injury, it is essential to take the following precautions:
◾ Avoid contact with hard or solid foreign objects such as
stones, rocks or pieces of metal.
◾ Never cut wood or shrubs with a stem diameter of
more than 2 cm.
◾ Inspect the blade at a regular short interval for signs
of damage. Do not continue working with a damaged
blade.
◾ Re-sharpen the blade regularly (when it has dulled
noticeably) and have it balanced if necessary
(performed by a qualified service technician).
Tips for best brush-cutting
◾ Always hold brush cutter on your right side with both
hands when operating. Use a firm grip on both handles.
◾ Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position
yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by
the kickback reaction of the cutting blade.
◾ Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such
as glass, rocks, concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal,
etc., which can be thrown or entangled in the blade.
◾ Never use blades near sidewalks, fencing, posts,
buildings or other immovable objects.
◾ Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without
first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any
damage is detected.
◾ Use the unit for cutting from the right to the left in a
broad sweeping action from side to side.
◾ Use only the EGO
TM
blade. Using any other brand blade
with this brush cutter could result in serious personal
injury.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing
the unit, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and remove the battery pack. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
CLEAN THE MACHINE
◾ Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild
detergent.
◾ Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. They can be damaged by
certain aromatic oils, such as pine and lemon, and by
solvents such as kerosene. Moisture can also cause
a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry
cloth.
