Using the DeWalt DCKO215M1 Combo Kit is easy. First, charge the 4.0Ah lithium - ion battery fully using the included charger. When using the string trimmer, hold it firmly and adjust the variable - speed trigger according to the thickness of the overgrowth. Start trimming slowly and increase speed as needed. The 13 - inch cutting swath and 0.080 - inch line will help you get the job done efficiently. After trimming, switch to the blower. Attach the concentrator nozzle for more focused airflow. Aim the blower at the debris and move it around to clear it away. For maintenance, after each use, clean the string trimmer and blower. Check the line on the string trimmer and replace it if it's worn out. Keep the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Always follow safety instructions and wear appropriate protective gear like gloves and goggles.
