IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric
gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions must always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
serious injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
1. FOR ALL DOUBLE INSULATED
APPLIANCES
a) Replacement parts. When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
b) 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.
C) In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided instead
of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance,
nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a doubleinsulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a doubleinsulated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace.
2. FOR ALL APPLIANCES
a) Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t use
appliances in damp or wet locations.
b) Don’t use in rain.
c) Keep children away. All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
d) 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.
e) Use safety glasses. Always use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty.
f) Use right appliance. Do not use appliance
for any job except that for which it is
intended.
g) 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 an added measure of
safety.
h) WARNING! To reduce the risk of
electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use,
such as an extension cord of cord type
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
i) 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 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 appliance cord from the extension cord
during operating:
i-1) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1
i-2) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.

Method of securing extension cord
j) Avoid unintentional starting. Don’t carry
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch.
Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
k) Don’t abuse cord. Never carry appliance
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
l) Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades or
cutting edges when picking up or holding
the appliance.
m) Don’t force appliance. It will do the job
better and with less risk of injury at the rate
for which it was designed.
n) Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
o) Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate appliance
when you are tired.
p) Disconnect appliance. Disconnect the
appliance from the power supply when not
in use, before servicing, when changing
accessories such as blades, and the like.
q) Store idle appliances indoors. When not in
use, appliances should be stored indoors
in dry, and high or locked-up place, out of
reach of children.
r) Maintain appliance 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 appliance 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.
s) Check damaged parts. Before further use
of the appliance, 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.
t) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
3. WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury:
a) Do not leave appliance when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
b) TO reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
expose to rain. Store indoors. Do not use
on wet surfaces.
c) Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
d) Use only as described in the manual.
Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
e) Do not with damaged cord or plug. If
appliance is not working as it should, has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to a service
center.
