GENERAL SAFETY RULES

■ Never operate the grass trimmer with damaged guards or without the guards in place.
■ Maintain a firm grip on both handles while using this tool.
■ Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance or

exposure to hot surfaces.

■ Maintain stable footing on a solid surface at all times when using the trimmer in order to have better

control of the tool. Do not use the trimmer whilst on a ladder or other unstable support.

■ Keep cutting attachment below waist level. Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating

cutting attachment and hot surfaces.

■ Do not touch muffler, rear cover housing or casing around the engine; these parts get hot whilst and

after the trimmer has been used. Contact with hot surfaces could result in serious burns.

■ The cutting attachment should never rotate at idle during normal use.
■ The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor adjustments. Wear your protective

equipment and observe all safety instructions. For units equipped with a clutch, be sure the cutting
attachment stops turning when the engine idles. When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.

■ Mix and store fuel in a container approved for storing gasoline.
■ Mix and pour fuel outdoors where there are no sparks and flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only

after stopping the engine and letting it cool completely. Do not smoke while fueling or mixing fuel.
Wipe spilled fuel from the trimmer. Move at least 10 ft (3 m) away from the fueling source and the
site before starting engine.

■ Before fueling or storing the tool, stop the engine and allow it to cool completely.
■ Before transporting the tool in a vehicle, allow the engine to cool completely and empty the fuel

tank. Always secure the tool to avoid movement during transportation.

■ Only use replacement parts or accessories provided or listed in this Operator’s Manual.
■ This trimmer is not intended for extended use. Extended periods of operation can cause circulatory

problems in the user’s hands due to the vibration caused by the tool. Take regular breaks from
operating the tool.

■ Always take your tool to an authorized service center for repair. Service performed by inexperienced

or unqualified persons may damage the tool, create unsafe conditions, increase the risk of personal

injury, and/or void your warranty.

BATTERY PACK

■ The battery pack is compatible with the YLS0042-T084045 charger.
■ Charge the battery only with the charger specified by the manufacturer and listed in this manual. A

charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

■ Do not place battery powered tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of

explosion and possibly injury.

■ Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage

to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
