SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric garden-
ing 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-INSULATED
APPLIANCES
a) Replacement parts. When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
b) Polarized appliance connections. To re-
duce 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 cloth-
ing 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 elec-
tric 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 exten-
sion 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; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps
or connectors described in this manual.

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 appli-
ance 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 ap-
pliance 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.
3. EDGER-TRIMMERS
a) Keep guards in place and in working
order.
b) Keep hands and feet away from cutting
area.
