BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
WARNING: USE ONLY POWERSMART APPROVED REPLACEMENT BATTERIES,
OTHER BATTERIES MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MOWER. Use with
POWERSMART 40V battery.
Battery safety rules
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion
and injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately. Do not
charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than
45°F but less than 104°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in
vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious personal injury.
Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged, unplug
the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.
8
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with
hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other
possible serious injuries.
Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean battery pack.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
a) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or
energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories,

OPERATING THE MACHINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel information in the safety rules before you begin. If
you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call customer
support.
CHECK POINTS BEFORE OPERATION
Check for loose bolts, nuts and fittings.
Check the air cleaner for dirt. Clean the air filter of all dirt, etc. before operation.
Check to be sure that protector is securely in place.
Check whether the battery is charged.
Check to be sure that blade is not cracked.
TRIMMING
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish to cut .Tilt
the
head slowly to direct debris away from you. If cutting up to a barrier such as
fence, wall or tree,approach from an angle where any debris ricocheting off
18
the barrier will fly away from you. Move the line head slowly until the grass is cut right up the barrier, but
do not jam(overfeed )the line into the barrier. If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence be
careful to feed only up to wire. If you go to far the line will snap off around the wire. Trimming can be
done to cut through weed stems one at a time. Place the trimmer line head near the bottom of the
weed-never high up which could cause the weed to chatter and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed
right through, just use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
CUTTING WITH A BLADE
WARNING: Do not use a brush cutter for cutting trees.
There are many different types of blades, however the two most commonly
used are the following. BRUSH BLADE is used for cutting brush and weeds
up to 3/4” in diameter. Only 10inch 3-blade can be used in this type of brush
cutter.
WARNING: Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged metal blade.
Before cutting growth, inspect for obstructions such as boulders, metal
stakes or strands of wire from broken fences. If an obstruction cannot be
removed, mark its location so that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks
and
metal will dull or damage a blade . Wires can catch on the blade head and
flap
around or be thrown into the air.
Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut.This
contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant ?and suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the object
that was hit.This reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator to lose control of the unit.Blade
thrust may occur without warning if the blade snags ,stalls or binds.This is more likely to occur in areas
where it is difficult to see the material being cut from cutting ease and safely,approach the weeds being
cut from the right to the left,in the event that an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,this
could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
USING THE SHOULDER HARNESS
WARNING: Proper shoulder strap and handlebar adjustments must be made with the machine
completely stopped before using unit.
1. Assemble and adjust the shoulder harness and belt.
2. Adjust the shoulder-harness button,and move the hook to your waist, then adjust the belt (If there
is a belt).
3. Hang the latch tab on the harness hook.
4. If the brush cutter doesn't balance,then adjust the harness hanger,and the handlebar,until the it
balances.
5. To quickly detach the brush cutter from the harness, pull the quick-release latch tab upward.
6. Insert the latch tongue in the slot of the quick-release latch to reattach the brush cutter to the harness.
