• DISCONNECT APPLIANCES. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in
use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades and the like.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in appliance with finger on
switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should be provided on the
circuits or outlets to be used for the gardening appliance. Receptacles are available having
built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate appliance
when you are tired.
• 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 conditions 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 otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• USE OF ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS. The use of any accessory or attachment
not recommended for use with this appliance could be hazardous. Note: Refer to the
accessory section of this manual for further details.
• EXTENSION CORDS. 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. The table below 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 from the
extension cord during operation, use the extension cord retainer described in this manual.

not use cutting line heavier than that recommended by the manufacturer. See the
accessory section of this manual for more detailed information about the proper cutting
line to use.
2. Keep the cutting line trimmed to the proper length (done automatically by the appliance).
Make sure that the guard is firmly in place, in working order and positioned between
yourself and the cutting line.
3. Wear long pants and substantial footwear to protect yourself from injury caused by flying
debris. This is especially important when edging with the appliance.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire
extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the
receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does
not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable
extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any
way.
