2 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING (THIS
POWER TOOL)
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions before using this
product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
• Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts
and accessories. Use of any other parts may create
a hazard or cause product damage.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Everyday
glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of eye injury. Use face mask if operating in
dusty work spaces.
• Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t expose
power tools to damp or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Don’t use in rain.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft.
away.
• Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of
rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use right Appliance. Do not use appliance for any
job except that for which it is intended.
• Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t carry appliance
with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when
battery plugging in.
• Don’t Force Appliance – It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Don’t overreach – Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate this unit when you
are tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or medication.
• Always store idle power tools indoors – When not in
use, power tools should be stored indoors in a dry
and high or locked-up place, out of reach of
children.
• Maintain Appliance With Care – Replace string head
if cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Be sure
the string head is properly installed and securely
fastened. Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for
best performance and to reduce the risk of injury.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically,
and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease. Failure to do so can
cause serious injury.
• Check damaged parts before using the appliance, a
guard or other 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, damaged mountings, and
any other condition that may affect its operation. A

guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless indicated elsewhere in this
manual.
• Do not charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations.
• Remove or disconnect battery before servicing,
cleaning or removing material from the gardening
appliance.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire. Use only Powerworks
BAP702 battery or other BAP series.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack. Use only Powerworks
CAP802 charger or other CAP series.
• 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 a
fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause an
explosion.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells
may explode. Check with local codes for possible
special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to
short the battery with conducting materials such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Keep hands and feet away from cutting area.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
• Use only with the nylon cutting line of .065" (1.65
mm) diameter. Do not use heavier lines than
recommended by the manufacturer and line
materials of other types – for example, metal wire,
rope, and the like.
