GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the safety warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 WORKING AREA
• Use the machine only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Never operate the machine with damaged guards or shields or without guards or shields in place.
• Switch on the motor only when the hands and feet are away from the cutting
2.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an
3
NORDIC
increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an
electric shock.
• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current
device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.
2.3 PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating
a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.
• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power
tool. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts..
• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and
used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power
tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might
4
NORDIC
affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused
by using poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs
to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.
2.5 SERVICE
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will
ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
a) Use only the manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and accessories.
b) Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. Have the machine repaired only by an authorized repairer.
c) When not in use, store the machine out of the reach of children.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEDGE TRIMMER
• Replace the trimmer head if cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Be sure the trimmer head is properly installed
and securely fastened.
• Make sure all guards straps, and handles are properly and securely attached.
• Use only the manufacturer’s replacement line trimmer head.
• Never operate the product without the safety guard in place and in good condition.
• Use the product for cutting grass and light weeds only. Do not use for any other purpose.
• Before starting the product, position it so that the line does not come in contact with anything you do not intend to
cut.
• Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming. Keep the trimmer head below waist level. Never cut with the
trimmer head over 76 cm or more above the ground.
• Keep the working area free from wires, stones and debris.
• Do not cut against hard objects. This could cause injury or damage the trimmer.
• Do not use the trimmer to cut grass which is not in contact with the ground; for example, do not cut grass which is
on walls or rocks etc.
• Always use your trimmer in an upright position.
• Keep hands away from the cutting line. Do not attempt to remove cut material or to hold material to be cut when
the line is moving. Be sure to unplug the product before clearing jammed material from the line.
• Do not grasp the line when picking up or holding the product.
• Be cautious after turning off the product. The line coasts after turning off the product.
5
NORDIC
• Never fit metal cutting lines.
• Do not switch the trimmer on in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces or in the presence of inflammable and/or
explosive substances such as liquids, gas and powders.
• Do not cross roads or gravel paths with the trimmer still running.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BRUSHCUTTER AND BLADE USE
• Do not operate the brushcutter unless the blade guard is firmly secured in place and in good condition.
• Use heavy gloves while installing or removing blades.
• Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is rotating.
• A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to spin after the unit is stopped or trigger released. Maintain
proper control until the blade has completely stopped rotating.
• Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always make sure blade is installed correctly and securely fastened
before each use. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
• Use only the manufacturer’s replacement cutting blade intended for use on this brushcutter.
• Do not use any other blade.
• The cutting blade is suited for cutting pulpy weeds and vines only. Do not use for any other purpose. Never use the
cutting blade to cut woody brush.
• Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when
the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit.
• Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where
it is difficult to see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from the right
to the left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this could minimize the blade thrust
reaction.
• Never cut any material over 13 mm diameter.
• Always wear the shoulder strap when using the brushcutter and adjust to a comfortable operating position.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while cutting with a blade. Keep the blade away from body and below waist.
Never use the brushcutter with the blade located 76 cm or more above the ground level.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLE SAW
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the pole saw is operating. Before you start the pole saw,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pole saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces only. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
6
NORDIC
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
• Do not operate a pole saw in a tree. Operation of a pole saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the pole saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery
or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers is released
the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the pole saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the pole saw by the front handle with the pole saw switched off and away from your body. Proper handling of
the pole saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use pole saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use pole saw for cutting plastic,
masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pole saw for operations different than intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
• Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
• Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches
the saw chain in the cut.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a pole saw user, you should take several steps to
keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
• Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the pole saw handles, with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the pole saw.
• Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the pole saw in
unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
7
NORDIC
• Follow sharpening and maintenance best practices for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
• The first time user should request an experienced operator in the use of the pole saw and the protective equipment,
and should be have the initial practice cutting branches on a saw horse or cradle.
• Before any cutting, you must wait for the saw chain running to reach a stable speed.
• When cutting wood, please do not press the pole saw with big force.
• During cutting, if the saw chain is stuck in the wood, please stop the saw immediately, and take the saw out of the
wood carefully. Restart the saw till the saw chain reaches a stable speed, and then re cut again.
• Operate the machine properly, activate the trigger completely during use. And do not work continuously for a long
time to avoid overuse fatigue.

OPERATION
BATTERY CHARGER (SOLD SEPARATELY)
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a “memory” when charged after
only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging. Remove
the battery pack from the tool when convenient for you and your job. You can “top-off” your battery pack’s
charge before starting a big job or long period of use.
Due to lithium-ion’s fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the lithium-ion battery
pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will
drop quickly. Charge the battery pack as needed.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
This lithium-ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before using it the first time, fully charge the
battery pack. A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C will charge in
about 1 hour.
Plug the charger adapter into power source. The green light on the charger stand will illuminate, indicating
the charger is powered.
Slide the battery all the way into the charger stand. The red light on the charger stand will illuminate,
indicating that the battery is charging.
The red light will go off after charging is complete and a green light will appear.
NOTE: Batteries may become warm while charging. This is normal. If the battery is hot after continuous
use in the tool, allow it to cool down to room temperature before charging. This will extend the life of
your batteries.
WARNING: Always disconnect the battery pack from the tool before any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER
Follow these steps to operate the trimmer.
Put the shoulder strap over your shoulder opposite side to the unit. Adjust shoulder strap to most
comfortable length.
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the trigger handle and your left hand on the front handle.
NOTE: Keep a firm grip with both hands during operation.
Place the trimmer on the side of your body with the motor behind and away from your body.
14
NORDIC
Press the lock button and then the trigger to start the trimmer. The trimmer will build up speed steadily.
Trim grass and weeds in a right-to-left motion with the line parallel to the ground.
NOTE: If the machine is overloaded, thermal protection inside the unit will cut off the trimmer. Leave
the trimmer for about 10 minutes before turning it ON again. The lawn trimmer should then start.
To switch off the line trimmer, simply release the trigger.
WARNING: After switching off, the cutting element will continue to rotate for a few more seconds.
Maintain vigilance until the line completely stops.
CUTTING TIPS
• Inspect and clear the area to be trimmed for any rocks, broken glass or wire that could be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting line. Trim only when grass or weeds are dry.
• Keep the cutting line parallel to the ground.
• Cut grass or weeds over 20cm tall from the top to the bottom in small amounts.This will prevent grass becoming
wrapped around the trimmer head assembly, which may result in damage due to overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped around the trimmer head assembly, stop the trimmer, unplug it and remove the grass.
• Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area you are cutting, keeping the trimmer at the desired cutting height.
• Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force the trimmer head assembly into uncut grass.
• Feed out some line after each use to prevent the line from retracting into the cutting head.
• The tip of the cutting line will wear during use; this reduces the cutting swath. If the line is not advanced
occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may retract into
the trimmer head assembly. Should this occur, unplug the trimmer, remove the spool, refeed the line through the
eyelets and reassemble the spool.
• Avoid hitting objects with the line,such as chain-linkfences or concrete, as this causes rapid wear.
• Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the ground while trimming.
OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER
• Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a firm grip
with both hands while in operation. Brushcutter should be held at a comfortable position with the
• trigger handle about hip height. Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will not be
drawn off balance by the kickback reaction of the cutting blade.
• Adjust the shoulder strap to position the brushcutter at a comfortable operating position and to ensure that the
shoulder strap will reduce the risk of operator contact with the blade.
• Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when
the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust may occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds. This is
more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach
the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event that an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,
this could minimise the blade thrust reaction.
15
NORDIC
TRI-ARC BLADE
The TRI-ARC blade is suited only for pulpy weeds and vines. When the blade becomes dull, it can be turned
over to extend the life of the blade. Do not sharpen the TRI-ARC blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE - BLADE WARNING:
• Extreme care must be taken when using blades to ensure safe operation. Read the safety information
• for safe operation using the blade, refer to “Specific Safety Rules for Brushcutter and Blade Use” earlier in this
manual.
• Always hold brushcutter with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on both handles.
• Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the kick-
back reaction of the cutting blade.
• Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such as glass, stones, concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal, etc.
• Never use blades near footpaths, fencing, posts, buildings or other immovable objects.
• Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is
detected.
• The unit is used as a scythe, cutting from the right to the left in a broad sweeping action from side to sid
• The blade protector protects the blade when the tool is being stored or transported.
SAFETY GUARD LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE
This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the safety guard. For best cutting, advance
line until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you hear the engine running
faster than normal. This will maintain best performance and keep line long enough to advance properly.
