IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WARNING When using electric trimmers, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
Do not rely on the tool’s insulation against electric shock. To reduce the risk of
electrocution, never operate the tool in the vicinity of any wires or cables which may
carry electric current.
Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and
durations of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
Keep children, other persons and pets away. All visitors should be kept at least 100 feet (30
m) away from work area.
Avoid dangerous environments. Don’t use trimmers on damp or wet slope.
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 safety glasses. Always use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
Use the right tool. Do not use the tool for any job except that for which it is intended.
Don’t force the trimmer. 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 the trimmer
when you are tired.
Do not operate the trimmer while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Keep guards in place and in working order.
Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
Store trimmer indoors and out of reach of children. When not in use the trimmer should be
stored indoors in a dry and high, and locked-up place with the battery pack removed.
Maintain trimmer with care. Keep the cutting attachment clean for best performance
and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow the instructions for changing accessories. Keep
the handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the trimmer, 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, mounting, 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.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment.
Always hold the trimmer firmly, with both hands on the handles, while operating. Wrap
your ngers and thumbs around the handles.
Avoid accidental starting. Don’t carry the trimmer with your nger on the trigger.
4
Do not operate the trimmer in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
appliances create sparks, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
If you strike a foreign object with the trimmer or it becomes entangled, stop the tool
immediately, check for damage and have any damage repaired before further operation
is attempted. Do not operate with a broken guard or spool.
DANGER If the trimmer should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble. A loose head may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer, which may result in
serious or fatal injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly xed in position. If the
head loosens after xing it in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with a loose
cutting attachment.
DANGER Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting head immediately,
even if damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may
shatter at high speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
Check the cutting attachment at regular short intervals during operation, or immediately
if there is a noticeable change in cutting behavior.
When replacing the cutting line, use the nylon line with thickness of no more than 0.08
in (2 mm). Using heavier lines than recommended by the manufacturer increases the load
on the motor and reduces its operating speed. This results in overheating and damage to the
trimmer.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire or metal-reinforced line or other
material in place of the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break off and be thrown at
high speed toward the operator or bystanders.
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or on any other
insecure support. Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.
If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment.
Contact the SKIL Customer Service Center for assistance.
Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet locations.
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 re when used with another battery pack.
Use this trimmer only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
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 burns or a
re.
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
modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of
injury.
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 specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of
re.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
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.
5
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.
Replacement Parts - When servicing, use only identical SKIL replacement parts. Use of any
other accessory or attachment may increase the risk of injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are
always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when the tool is not
operating. Take care when performing maintenance or service.
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.
Do not wash with a hose; avoid getting water in motor and electrical connections.
Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode
in a re.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 212 °F (100°C) may cause explosion.
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 nger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may
use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend these instructions to them to
prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
