Using the Makita CRU03Z string trimmer is easy. First, connect the tool to the battery backpack (sold separately) using the provided cable. Make sure the battery is fully charged. Once connected, you can start using the trimmer. Use the variable speed trigger switch to control the cutting speed according to your needs. You have three speed options: low (4,000 RPM), medium (4,600 RPM), and high (6,000 RPM). If the trimmer head gets clogged with grass or weeds, use the reverse rotation function to quickly clear it. When it comes to maintenance, keep the tool clean after each use. Wipe off any dirt or debris. The IPX4 weather - resistant construction means it can handle some exposure to water, but avoid submerging it. The Makita® Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) helps protect the internal components from dust and water, but still be careful in very harsh conditions. Also, take advantage of the Star Protection Computer Controls™. This technology protects the tool and battery from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. Make sure to use Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries with the star symbol for best performance and protection. And remember, this tool comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, you're covered.
