How to use

Install a compatible 48 V Li‑Ion battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions and ensure it is fully charged before use.

Keep both hands on the handles during operation and maintain a stable stance. Periodically stop to clear clippings and inspect the blade for damage or obstructions. Allow the tool to cool before storing and remove the battery if the trimmer will not be used for an extended period.

Regularly sharpen and clean the blade to maintain cutting performance, and follow routine maintenance guidelines in the user manual to ensure long-term reliability.
