Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized extension cord. The 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 the plug does not fit
fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug 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.
Page 3 — English
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Avoid Dangerous Environments - Don’t expose trimmers
to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Warning – To reduce the risk of electric shock -
outdoor extension cords marked W-A, W,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
Use Right Appliance - Do not force trimmer. Use the
correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do

These
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use only the manufacturer’s 0.080 in. diameter
replacement line in the cutting head. Do not use any
other cutting attachment, for example, metal wire, rope,
or the like. To install any other brand of cutting head to
this string trimmer can result in serious personal injury.
Never operate unit without the grass deflector in place
and in good condition.
Check damaged parts - Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming. Keep
string head below waist level. Never cut with the string
head located over 30 in. or more above the ground.
Store idle appliances indoors- When not in use, string
trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place
out of the reach of children.
Extenstion cord - Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom mended.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. To reduce the risk of disconnection of
appliance cord from the extension cord during operation,
retain extension cord as shown in figure 7.
Never use blades, flailing devices, wire, or rope. Unit
is designed for line trimmer use only. Use of any other
accessories or attachments will increase the risk of injury.
Inspect area to be cut. Remove objects (rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, line, etc.) which can be thrown or
become entangled in cutting head.
Keep the air vents clean and free of debris to avoid
overheating the motor. Clean after each use.
Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when not
in use. Carry the unit with the motor stopped.
Store unplugged and out of the reach of children.
Do not hang unit so that the switch trigger is depressed.
Do not use multiple cords.
Do not abuse the cord - Never carry the unit by the cord
or yank extension cord to disconnect unit.
Keep the extension cord clear of operator and obstacles
at all times. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, water, or
sharp edges.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service
center to avoid risk.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this power tool.
If you loan someone this power tool, loan them these
instructions also.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
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 tool 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
your product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
GFCI
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
product. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1.
When using a power product 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 “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service
center.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a
knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during
use. Make the knot as shown in Figure 1, then connect the
plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the
extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two
extension cords together.

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 product with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
