Using Your Hand Held Trimmer

WARNING: If any parts are missing, damaged or broken,

DO NOT operate the hand held trimmer until they have been replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.

WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury,

always use the front hand grip and keep other hand free from blades during operation.

WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury, keep

hands away from the blades. DO NOT attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure that the battery is removed from the unit when clearing jammed material from blades. DO NOT grasp the blades when picking up or holding the unit.

WARNING: Clear the area to be cut before starting.

Remove all objects such as cords, small rocks, lights, wire or string which may become entangled in the cutting blade.

DANGER: If the blade becomes jammed on any

electrical cord or line, DO NOT

TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold your trimmer by the insulated handle and immediately disconnect the damaged electrical cord or line from the power source. Failure to heed this will result in serious personal injury and possibly death.

WARNING: Do not remove protective blade cover except for

cleaning purposes. This unit is meant to be used with protective guard cover in place at all times during use.

The hand held trimmer can be used for many jobs in the garden, such as, edging lawns, trimming long grass, topping weeds and thistles and non- wooden plants.
