READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electric hedge
trimmers, basic safety precautions
always should be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
1. FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLI-
ANCES
1) Replacement parts When servicing use only identical re-
placement parts.
2) Polarized appliance connections To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and 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 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.
2. FOR ALL HEDGE TRIMMERS
1) Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t
use hedge trimmers in damp or wet
locations.
2) Don’t Use In Rain.
3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should
be kept at a distance from work area.
4) 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.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may
be used for an added measure of safety.
7) Use Right Appliance - Do not use
appliance for any job except that for
which it is intended.
8) 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, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOWA, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
Exception No. I : This warning does
not apply to a battery-operated hedge
trimmer.
Exception No. 2: Types SOW, STW, SJOW,
SJTW, STOW, or SJTOW are alternative
designations to Types SOW-A STW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A, STOW-A or SJTOW-A,
respectfully.
9) Extension 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. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 50.1 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:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 50.2,
or
i¡) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors described
in this manual.

cords
Figure 2 Method of securing cord set
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry
plugged-in hedge trimmer with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
11) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry hedge
trimmer by cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
Exception: This warning does not apply
to a battery-operated hedge trimmer with
a separable battery.
12) Danger - Risk of Cut - Keep Hands Away
From Blades - Keep both hands on
handles when power is on.
Do not attempt to remove cut material
nor hold material to be cut when blades
are moving. Make sure trimmer switch is
off when clearing jammed material from
blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting
blades or cutting edges when picking up
or holding the hedge trimmer.
Caution - blades coast after turn off.
13) Don’t Force Hedge Trimmer - It will do the
job better and with less risk of injury at
the rate for which it was designed.
14) Don’t Overreach - Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
15) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
hedge trimmer when you are tired.
16) Disconnect Hedge Trimmer - Disconnect
the hedge trimmer from the power
supply when not in use, before servicing,
when changing accessories, and the like.
17) Store Idle Hedge Trimmer Indoors - When
not in use, hedge trimmer should be
stored indoors in dry, and high or lockedup place - out of reach of children.
18) Maintain Hedge Trimmer With Care Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for
best performance and to reduce the
risk of injury. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect hedge trimmer cord periodically,
and if damaged, have it repaired by
an authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
19) Check Damaged Parts - Before further use
of the hedge trimmer, 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
condition that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.

inspect it first and remove any foreign objects
that could become thrown or entangled in the
blades. Always hold the trimmer with both
hands and with the blade away from you before
turning it on.
When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action so that the stems are fed
directly into the blade (See J & K).
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before cutting. When operating, keep the
cutting blades away from people and objects
such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the
trimmer. Release the two switch levels (2 & 4)
before attempting to clear jammed debris from
the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick
for the cutting blade.
