1. WARNING: Risk of fire and burns. Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), or incinerate. Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

2. Dispose of used battery promptly. When disposing of secondary cells or batteries, keep cells or batteries of different electrochemical systems separate from each other.

3. Keep battery out of reach of children and in original package until ready to use.

4. Never put batteries in mouth. If swallowed, contact your physician or local poison control center.

5. CAUTION – The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Replace battery with (WORX) only. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion

6. WARNING: Do not use a visibly damaged battery pack or appliance as applicable.

7. WARNING: Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack as applicable.

8. BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED.

9.  Do not short-circuit a cell or battery. Do not store cells or batteries haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive materials.

10. Do not subject cells or batteries to mechanical shock.

11. Keep cells and batteries clean and dry. Wipe the cell or battery terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty.

12. Do not maintain secondary cells and batteries on charge when not in use.

13. Retain the original cell and battery literature for future reference.

14. Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment. Secondary cells and batteries need to be charged before use. Always use the correct charger and refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or equipment manual for proper charging instructions.

15. When possible, remove the battery from the equipment when not in use.

16. 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 finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.

LINE FEEDING/WINDING INSTRUCTION

1. Automatic line feed system
   When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. Each time the tool is started from rest it will advance about 0.25 inches of trimmer line.
   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.  (See Fig. L)Your trimmer is equipped with a Command Feed System. For efficiently feeding the line, just press the command feed button while the machine is running until you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the line cutting. The motor will shut off when pressing the Command Feed button and will restart when releasing
   the button. During that process the line will automatically feed additional line for cutting.

3. Manually feeding the line (See Fig. M)Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. If required, line can be fed out manually. To operate, press and release manual Line Feed Button, while gently pulling out the line until it is long enough
   to reach 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 Spool Cap and turn Spool counter-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

4. Manually winding the line
   ( See Fig. O1, O2, O3, O4) Take approximately 10ft (3m) of line. Insert 5/8 inch (15mm) of line into the Spool holes and wind line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the Spool. Leave approximately 4 inches (100mm) of line unwound and place into the cleat. Ensure that the line is neatly coiled on the Spool. Failure to do so will impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed. Then fit the Spool as shown in Fig. N1, N2, N3
