WARNING
: When using electric gardening tools,
basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
Read All Instruction
a) FOR ALL DOUBLE - INSULATED APPLIANCES
1) Replacement parts - When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
2) Polarized Appliance Connections - To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this appliance has 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.
This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way.
If the plug still does not fit fully into wall outlet, reverse
the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
b) FOR ALL APPLIANCES
1) Avoid dangerous environment - Don’t use appliances in
damp or wet locations. Don’t use in rain.
2) Children and all visitors should be kept at a distance within
50 feet (15 meters) away from work area; the grass which
is cut and dispersed may contain stones and debris. You
and others can be blinded/injured.
3) Dress properly - Always wear suitable clothing when using
the trimmer to prevent head, hand, or feet injuries.
4) Wear safety glasses, high boots, (or sturdy shoes and
trousers) for leg protection and work gloves. Always use
face or dust mask if operation is dusty. Keep body parts
clear of rotating line.
5) Use the right tools - Do not use tools for any job except
that for which it is intended.
6) Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet to be used for the
gardening appliances. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
for safety.

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.
8) 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 under sized 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection of the
appliance cord from the extension cord during operating:
Method of securing extension cord
i) Make a knob as shown in figure 2; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual.
