NOISE DATA

VIBRATION INFORMATION

The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING! The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained. The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used. And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
WARNING! To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades. Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY PACK

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short- circuited by conductive materials. 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 fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use. Always refer to this instruction and use the correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery pack several times to obtain maximum performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance when it is operated at normal room temperature (20°C ± 5°C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep battery packs of different electrochemical systems separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified by WORX. Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
o) Do not use any battery pack which is not designed for use with the equipment.
p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
q) Retain the original product literature for future reference.
r) Remove the battery from the equipment when not in use.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
Intended Use
The machine is intended for the cutting of grass and weeds under bushes, as well as on slopes and edges that can not be reached with the lawn mower.
WARNING! The charger and battery pack are specially designed to work together so do not attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into your charger or battery pack connections because of an electrical failure and hazard will occur.
WARNING! Always wear the eye protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury. When operating unit, check for the following: Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold front handle with one hand and auxiliary handle with the other hand. Keep unit below waist level. Work only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.
WARNING! Make sure that line is fed out before operation. Make sure motor is up to full speed before trimming or edging.
WARNING! Only use 1.65mm diameter cutting line. Other sizes of line will not feed properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use othermaterial such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous projectile that can cause serious injury.

WORKING HINTS

1. AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the lines hit the Line Cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED. This is quite normal. After about 5 seconds the line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor gains full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can’t be heard, more line will need to be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow the trimmer to stop completely; it must come to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above until you hear the line hitting against the Line Cutter.

2. Your grass trimmer is equipped with a Command Feed System. Just press the button while the machine is running, new line will feed out and then stop when you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the new line being cut. The motor stops briefly when the Command Feed button is pressed, and restarts when released. This process enables the machine to automatically feed out new line.
   3. MANUALLY FEEDING THE LINE (See Fig. M) Press and release manual line feed button (14), whilst gently pull out the lines until the lines reaches the line cutter.
   If the line extends past the line cutter, too much line has been fed out.
   If too much line is fed out, remove the cutting head cover and rotate the spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

MAINTENANCE

After use, disconnect the battery from the tool and check for damage.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry room temperature location. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Waste electrical products must not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authorities or retailer for recycling advice.
