IMPORTANT SAFETy INSTRUcTIONS
 Turn off all controls before unplugging.
 Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
 Do not use with damaged plug. If tool is not working as
it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, return it to an authorized service
center.
 Do not leave the tool when plugged in. Unplug from
the power outlet when not in use, before servicing,
changing accessories, and before storing the tool. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
 Don’t Abuse Cord – Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord
as a handle, close a door on a cord, or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners or yank to disconnect. Do not
run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
 Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
 Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
 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 double insulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace.
 For household use only.
 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) – Protection
should be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for
the edger. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
 Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t carry plugged in
edger with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
 Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges
when picking up or holding the edger.
 Don’t Force Edger – It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of a risk of injury at rate for which it was
designed.
 Maintain Edger with Care – Keep sharp cutting edge
clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of
injury. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect edger cord periodically, and if
damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Keeps handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
 Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the edger,
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 alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that might effect 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.
 Use Right Appliance – Do not use edger for any job except
that for which it is intended.
 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 prod-
uct will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least
14
is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
