SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric hedge
trimmers, basic safety precautions
should always should be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Know your hedge trimmer, read and
follow all instructions. Read owner’s
manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool.
2. Avoid dangerous environment. Do
not use hedge trimmers in damp or wet
locations.
3. Do not use in rain.
4. Keep children away. Do not permit
children to contact trimmer or extension
cord. All visitors should be kept at a
distance from work area.
5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. They can be caught
in moving parts. Use of protective gloves
and substantial footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
6. Use safety glasses. Always use face or
dust mask if operation in dusty.
7. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use
common sense. Do not operate trimmer
when you are tired.
8. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be
used for an added measure of safety.
9. Use right appliance. Do not use appliance
for any job except for which it is intended.
10. WARNING! To reduce the risk of
electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use,
such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOWA, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOWA. 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.
An undersized extension cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection
of hedge trimmer cord from the extension
cord during operating:
Table 1 Minimum gauge for extension
cords
Figure 2 Method of securing cord set
11. When operating your hedge trimmer.
Keep extension cord behind the hedge
trimmer. Never drape it over hedge being
trimmed.
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not
carry plugged-in hedge trimmer with
finger on switch.

hands and with the blade away from you before
turning it on.
Always keep the power cord behind the
trimmer when in use. Do not place it over
the hedge where it may be cut.
When trimming new growth, use a wide
