GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re,
and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING!
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■ Know your hedge trimmer. Read and understand
the operator’s manual and observe the warnings and
instruction labels afxed to the hedge trimmer.
■ Stay alert — watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power hedge
trimmer. Do not use hedge trimmer while tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power hedge
trimmers may result in serious personal injury.
■ Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use
this unit.
■ Use Safety Glasses — always wear eye protection
with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
■ Dress Properly — Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
■ Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves. Do not wear loose tting clothing, short pants,
sandals, or jewelry of any kind. Do not go barefoot.
■ Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to
prevent entanglement in any moving parts.
■ Keep Children Away — keep all bystanders,
children, and pets at least 50 feet away.
■ Use Right Appliance – do not use appliance for any
job except that for which it is intended.
■ Don’t Force Hedge Trimmer. It will do the job better
and less with likelihood of risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed
■ Disconnect Hedge Trimmer – disconnect hedge
trimmer from power cord when not in use, before
servicing, when changing accessories, such as blade
and the like.
■ Do Not Overreach — Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the hedge trimmer in
unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support.
■ Do not operate in poor lighting.
■ Keep hands, face, and feet at a safe distance from
moving parts. Do not touch or try to stop the cutting
blades when they are moving.
■ Do not use hedge trimmer if switch does not turn it
on or off. A hedge trimmer that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Avoid Accidental Starting — Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before plugging into power cord.
Carrying hedge trimmers with your nger on the switch
or plugging the power cord into a hedge trimmer with
the switch on invites accidents.
■ Avoid Dangerous Environments — Do not use
the hedge trimmer in damp or wet locations. Do not
operate the hedge trimmer in rain.
■ Maintain Hedge Trimmer with Care — Follow
instructions for lubrication and changing accessories,
keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Keep cutting blades sharp and clean. Properly
maintained hedge trimmers with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control and
reduce risk of injury.
■ Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the hedge trimmer’s operation. If damaged, have
the hedge trimmer serviced before using. A guard or
any other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained hedge trimmers.
■ Keep the hedge trimmer and its handle dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake uids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, or any strong solvents
to clean your hedge trimmer. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of
the enclosure plastic.
■ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not operate unit
in damp or wet locations.
■ Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one hedge trimmer may create a risk of
injury when used on another hedge trimmer.
■ Hedge trimmer service must be performed only by
qualied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualied personnel may result in a risk
of injury.
■ When servicing a hedge trimmer, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
WARNING!
■ Before starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the
blade is not in contact with any object.
■ Stop the unit, remove the power cord, and make
sure the blade has stopped before setting the unit
down.
■ Never cut any material with a diameter larger than
3/4 in.
■ DANGER! Risk of cut. Keep hands away from
blades. Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving. Keep
both hands on handles when power is on. Make sure
power cord is removed and the trigger is released
when clearing jammed material from blades. Do not
grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges
when picking up or holding the unit.
■ Blades coast after unit is turned off.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the
working area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while
you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so
can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use the
product with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting
in serious injury.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:The double insulated system is intended
to protect the user from shock resulting from a break
in the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal
safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1, page i.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service
center.
