OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Holding the String Trimmer
WARNING
• Dress properly to reduce the risk of injury when
operating this tool.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear eye
and ear/hearing protection. Wear heavy, long
pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear short pants
or sandals or work barefoot.
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating
position and check that:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and
proper clothing.
• One arm is slightly bent. The hand of that arm is holding the rear handle.
• The other arm is straight. The hand of this arm is holding the front-assist handle.
• The trimmer head is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the material to be cut without
the operator having to bend over.
6. To Start/Stop the String Trimmer
Before starting the string trimmer:
• Make sure that you have a secure and balanced
footing.
• Stand upright and hold the string trimmer in a
relaxed position.
• Make sure that the cutting line is not touching
the ground or any other objects.
• Hold the string trimmer with both hands.
a. To turn the string trimmer ON, push the lock-off
button (A) to left or right and then depress the
variable-speed trigger switch (B). The variable-
speed trigger switch delivers higher speed
with increased trigger pressure and lower
speed with decreased trigger pressure.
b. To turn it off, release the variable-speed trigger switch and allow the trimmer to come to a
complete stop.
WARNING
• Always remove the battery pack from the string trimmer during work breaks and after
nishing work.
