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

1. FOR ALL DOUBLE-

INSULATEDAPPLIANCES

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.

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
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, 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) Make a knot as shown in Figure 2
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining

straps or connectors described in this
manual.

cords

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.
