1.FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS listed in this manual before/during operation of this trimmer.
2.TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK this power tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
3.INSPECT UNIT FOR DAMAGE to the housing, cord or plug. Keep all fasteners tight. Do not use if the switch does not turn the unit off properly. Never use unit if cord or plug has been damaged, the motor or unit itself is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped in water. Never operate with any air opening blocked. Keep air openings free of debris that may reduce air flow. Replace damaged parts that are chipped, cracked or damaged in any way.
4.
DOUBLE INSULATED to help protect against
electric shock. Double insulation construction
consists of 2 separate “layers” of electric insulation. power tool built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can be plugged into any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet. Normal safety precautions must be observed when operating an electrical power tool. The double insulation system is only for added protection against injury resulting from a possible internal electrical insulation failure.
5.GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) receptacle may be used on an outlet or circuit for an added measure of safety.
6.EXTENSION CORD - Use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use. Match wire gauge to the cord length. See table below. A 2-wire cord without a ground connection may be used since this power tool is double insulated. If in doubt of proper wire size, use the next heavier gauge. Please note that the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

5 - TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. EXTENSION CORD. Always keep extension cord away from blades. Never drape it over a hedge being trimmed. If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it at the electrical outlet immediately, before inspecting or repairing cord.
2. WORKING POSITION. Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the illustrations, with one hand on the rear handle and one hand on the front handle. Never hold the tool by the blade guard.
3. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH. A wide, sweeping
motion, feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is
5-1A
most effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion gives the best cutting. (Fig. 5-
1A)
CAUTION
Do not use the trimmer for cutting stems greater than 1/2”. Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings.

6 - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
6-1. BLADE LUBRICATION
WARNING
Before lubricating, be sure your hedge trimmer is disconnected from the power supply. Failure to do so can result in accidental starting, causing serious personal injury.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the garden trimmer blade before and after each use. Apply light machine oil along the edge of the top strap. (Fig. 6-1)
IMPORTANT
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustments should be performed by an professional service center using identical replacement parts.
6-1
Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected and oiled occasionally during use.
1.The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel and with normal usage, they will not require resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence, stones, glass or other hard objects, you may put a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove this nick as long as it does not interfere with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere, unplug unit and use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick.
2.If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or if you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer’s operation contact a professional service center for repairs before putting it back into use.
3.Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
4.With the unit unplugged, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
