Using your Makita 40V max XGT GRU01M1 string trimmer is a breeze. First, make sure the 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah battery is fully charged. Insert it into the trimmer. You can use the variable speed trigger to choose from three speed options (3,500, 5,300, 6,500 RPM) based on the type of grass or weeds you're trimming. If the trimmer head gets clogged with grass or weeds, use the reverse rotation function to quickly clear it. To load the line into the Rapid Load Bump and Feed Trimmer Head, just follow three easy steps: align, feed, and twist. Adjust the loop handle to a comfortable position for you before you start trimming. When it comes to safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. Don't operate the trimmer in wet conditions as much as possible, even though it has an IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction. For maintenance, after each use, clean the trimmer head to remove any debris. Check the battery regularly for signs of damage. If you notice any issues with the motor or other parts, stop using the trimmer and contact Makita support. Charge the battery using the XGT® Rapid Optimum Charger (DC40RA). It should reach a full charge in 45 minutes or less. The charger's digital display will show you the battery charge level (-80%, +80%, 100%). Keep the charger and battery in a dry and cool place when not in use.
