Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Avoid Dangerous Environments - Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Disconnect battery pack from the appliance before storing, servicing, changing accessories such as cutting line. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

 Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service dealer.

Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are properly and securely attached.

Use only the manufacturer’s replacement string in the cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment, for example, metal wire, rope, or the like. To install any other brand of cutting head to this string trimmer can result in serious personal injury.
