orremovelooseclothingorclothingwith loosely hanging ties, straps, tassels, etc. They can be caught in moving parts.

S Being fully covered also helps protect you

from debris and pieces of toxic plants thrown by spinning tines.

S Stay alert. Do not operate when you are

tired, ill, upset, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. Watch what you are doing; use common sense.

S Wear hearing protection. S Never start or run inside a closed room or

building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill.

S Keep handles free of oil and fuel. S Never operate the cultivator without the tine

guard in place and properly secured.

FUEL SAFETY (for gas powerheads)

S Mix and pour fuel outdoors. S Keep away from sparks or flames. S Use a container approved for fuel. S Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or

the powerhead.

S Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up all fuel

spills before starting the powerhead.

S Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from

fueling site before starting powerhead engine.

S Stop engine and allow to cool before re-

moving fuel cap.

S Remove fuel cap slowly. S Store unit and fuel in an area where fuel va-

pors cannot reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric powerheads)

WARNING: Avoid a dangerous envi-

ronment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the pos sibility of electrical shock. Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or unit with wet hands. S Use only a voltage supply as shown on the

nameplate of the unit.

S Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in

presence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing damage to unit.

S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in

unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors can build up.

S To reduce the risk of electric shock, the pow-

erhead may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); if so, it will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

S To reduce risk of electrical shock, use exten-

sion cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor appliances having electrical rating not less than the rating of unit. Cord must be marked with suffix “W- -A” (in Canada “W”). Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Inspect extension cord before use and replace if damaged. Do not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. The extension cord used to reach the power source must be heavy enough to carry current from the power source the full length of the extension cord to the unit. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

S Do not use multiple cords. S Do not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by the

extension cord or yank extension cord to dis connect unit. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Do not use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, or water.

S Keep the extension cord clear of operator and

obstacles at all times.

S Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to re-

cessed plug as shown in this manual to prevent damage to unit and/or extension cord and to reduce the possibility of the extension cord disconnecting from the unit during operation.

S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-

lation and connectors on the powerhead and extension cord before each use. If there is any damage, do not use until damage is repaired by your authorized service dealer.

S Do not use the powerhead if the switch

does not turn the unit on and off properly. Have the unit repaired by your authorized service dealer.

S Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If pow-

erhead is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to your authorized service dealer for repair.

S Avoid unintentional starting of the unit. Never

carry unit with your finger on the switch. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position and never touch the switch when connecting extension cord.

S Unplug the unit from the power source when

not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories and/or attachments.

S Avoid any body contact with any grounded

conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes, to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for the powerhead. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety .
