IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Don’t Force Appliance – It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the
rate for which it was designed.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will t 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 t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will t into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If
the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
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.
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 this measure of safety.
Disconnect Appliance – Remove appliance from power source before storing, servicing,
changing accessories such as cutting line. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
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.
A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet (15.25
m) or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet (30.49 m) is not recommended. 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.
Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the unit by the extension cord or yank extension cord
to disconnect unit. Keep the cord clear of operator and obstacles at all times. Do not expose
cords to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges. Do not handle plug with wet hands.
W A R N I N G (PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATED
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for
the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal
metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
WARNING
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualied service technician. For service, we suggest
you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an
extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed
by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product , use an extension cord that is designed for outside
use. This type of cord is designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket. Before using any
extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

ELECTRICAL
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 voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and name plate 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 appliance cord from the extension cord during operating:
1. Make a knot as shown in Figure A. or
2. Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or connectors.
