  7. DO NOT grasp or touch the exposed cutting line when picking up or holding the 
      trimmer.
  8. DO NOT FORCE the trimmer. Do not try to cut more than what the trimmer is 
      designed for. It will do a better job with less chance of injury when used at the 
      rate for which it is designed. 
  9. KEEP the handle dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Use a clean cloth when 
      cleaning. DO NOT use solvents, brake fluids, gasoline, or other petroleum 
      products to clean the trimmer. They can damage plastic parts.
10. NEVER, for any reason, touch the cutting line or other moving parts during use.
11. When changing cutting line spool be careful of the line cutter on the guard. Cutter 
       is sharp and can cause injury (see page 17, Fig. 5a)
12. KEEP guard in place and in good working order. Keep guard positioned 
      between you and cutting line. Keep hands and feet away from cutting line.
13. ALWAYS store the trimmer indoors with battery pack removed when not in use. It 
      should be stored in a dry place, high up or locked in a place that is out of the 
      reach of children.
14. Cordless tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, 
      they are always in operating condition when the battery pack is installed. 
      Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery operated tool or 
      when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric 
      shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
15. Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce  
      the risk of explosion and possible injury.
16. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Never use a battery pack or 
      charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery 
      pack is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery pack 
      immediately.
17. Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a source of 
      ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of personal injury, never use 
      any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can 
      propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
18. Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce
      the risk of electric shock.
19. For best results, your battery should be charged in a location where the 
      temperature is more than 50°F but less than 80°F. Do not store battery outside or 
      in vehicles.
20. Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. 
      If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and 
      water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, 
      flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate 
      medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal 
      injury. 
21. ALWAYS use only 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) spiral twisted cutting line with this 
      trimmer. Use of any other cutting line may create a hazardous situation. 
22. ALWAYS keep ventilation openings clear of debris.
