BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES

Ryobi lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that

protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.

If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and

resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery

needs to be recharged.

WARNING:

Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are

assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when

not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental

starting that could cause serious personal injury.

TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK

See Figure 6.

 Place the battery pack in the trimmer. Align raised ribs on

battery pack with grooves in the trimmer’s battery port.

WARNING:

Make sure the latch on the bottom of the battery pack

snaps in place and the battery pack is fully seated and

secure in the trimmer battery port before beginning

operation. Failure to securely seat the battery pack could

cause the battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious

personal injury.

TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 6.

 Press and hold the battery latch button at the bottom of

the battery pack.

 Remove battery pack from the trimmer.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the

battery pack and keep hands clear of the lock-out button

when carrying or transporting the tool.

STARTING/STOPPING THE STRING TRIMMER

See Figure 7.

To start:





ADJUSTABLE FRONT HANDLE

 Remove the battery pack.

 Set the trimmer on a flat surface and turn the knob

counterclockwise to loosen the handle.

 For trimming, adjust the handle upward.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER

See Figure 9.

Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:



Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle

and your left hand on the front handle.



Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.



Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with

the rear handle about hip height.



Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass

from wrapping around the boom housing and string head

which may cause damage from overheating.
