Original instructions

M18-BLLT M18 Brushless Grass Trimmer

Noise information: Measured values determined according to
EN 50636 / EN ISO 4871.
Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level / Uncertainty K
Sound power level / Uncertainty K
Always wear ear protectors!| 75 dB(A) / 3 dB(A)
95 dB(A) / 3 dB(A)
Vibration information: Total vibration values (vector sum in the
three axes) determined according to EN 50636.
Vibration emission value ah/ Uncertainty K
Vibration front handle:
Vibration rear handle| < 2,5 m/s2/ 1,5 m/s2
< 2,5 m/s2 / 1,5 m/s2

WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in
EN 60335-1 / EN 50636-2-91 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

WARNING Read these instructions carefully, be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.

RESIDUAL RISK

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

• Injury caused by vibration
  Hold the product by designated handles and restrict working time and exposure.

• Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The product is only intended for use outdoors by a standing operator.
The product is designed for cutting grass, light weeds, and other similar vegetation at or about ground level.
The cutting plane should be approximately parallel to the ground surface when trimming.
The product should not be used to cut or trim hedges, bushes, or other vegetation where the cutting plane is not at or about ground surface level.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES

Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

Battery protection for Li-Ion Akkus
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will fl ash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off , the work may continue.

Transport of Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local, national and international provisions and regulations.

• The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
• Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.

When transporting batteries:

• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
  Check with forwarding company for further advice.

OPERATION

To feed out the line, bump the trimmer head spool against the ground gently while running a normal speed.
NOTE: When used near abrasive surfaces or in dense growth, the cutting line will wear faster and require “bumping” more often.

CUTTING TIPS

Allow the ends of the line to do the cutting.
Contact between the line and solid objects will cause extra line wear and breakage.
Do not drag the spool cover along the ground or bump it too hard.
Only bump spool on the ground. Do not bump against rocks, driveways, etc.
Make multiple passes in long growth.
Avoid ornamental trees, shrubs, and plantings. Avoid contact with siding, fence posts, etc. They can all be damaged by the trimmer.

REPLACING CUTTING LINE

Use only MILWAUKEE trimmer line (see technical data). Replace the cutting line with either 6 m of 2,4 mm line or 7,6 m of 2 mm line.
Note, when used near abrasive surfaces or in dense growth, the cutting line will wear faster.
For replacing cutting line see picture section.
Under normal operation, the remaining string should be thrown from the spinning head during use. If any string remains in the head, or to remove a length of string to replace with a different type, turn the trimmer head over and press the release tabs and pull the cover away from the head.

Discard any short line remnants. Snap the cover back onto the trimmer head.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Always turn off the tool when transporting from one location to another. Do not carry tool with finger on the trigger. Accidental starting can cause serious personal injury.
Remove the battery and allow it to cool before storing or transporting.
Carry the tool by the front handle to avoid accidental starting. Proper handling of the tool will prevent injury.
For transportation in vehicles, secure the product against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage to the product.
Clean all foreign materials from the product. Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store outdoors.
Do not immerse in water or spray with a hose. Do not clean with a pressure washer.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Store tool indoors.
Do not store the power tool on or near to fertilizers or chemicals.
