OPERATION

WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. There- fore, switch should always be off and the battery pack removed when not in use or carrying at your side.

GRIPPING THE TRIMMER

See Figure 5.

The trimmer has a dual grip design that allows the operator to hold the tool with either the right or left hand.

For right-handed operation, the depth adjustment latch must be on the left side of the tool. For left-handed opera- tion, the depth adjustment latch must be on the right side of the tool.

Always hold the trimmer so that the switch is facing you and your thumb is positioned above the depth adjustment latch.

To change grip positions, remove the laminate sub-base as- sembly (See “Installing/Removing Trimming Bits”). Position the base for right- or left-handed operation.

NOTE: Replace the base before using the trimmer. Do not attempt to operate the trimmer without the base installed.

WARNING:

Avoid hand positions that may expose fingers to bit through open areas of trimmer base. Fingers entering the opening in the trimmer base can be seriously cut or burned.

To avoid damaging the motor from overheating, do not let your hand cover the air vents.
