All Operators Must Read These
Instructions Before Use
Before using this electric tool, carefully read and observe the
safety rules and instructions listed below. Before starting work,
make sure that you know how to stop the machine in case of
an emergency. The incorrect use of this machine could cause
serious injury. Keep these instructions in a safe place and on
hand so that they can be consulted when required.
m
DANGER!
The electric grass trimmer + edger should
only be used for cutting lawns and for trimming along the
borders of flower beds. Other uses of the trimmer + edger that
are not indicated in these instructions could damage the unit
or seriously injure the operator.
General Safety
1. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use appliances
in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.
2. Keep children and bystanders away – Children and
other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least
50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the
grass is cut, stones and debris contained in the grass can
be picked up by the trimmer + edger and dispersed into
the air. These flying projectiles can cause blindness or
other bodily injury.
3. Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing when
using the trimmer + edger to prevent head, hand, or feet
injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can
get caught in moving parts.
4. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,
snug-fitting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and
head protection.
5. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job except
that for which they are intended.
6. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry plugged-in
tool with finger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is off
before plugging in the tool.
7. Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the tool by the cord
or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

8. Do not force the tool – It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it
was designed.
9. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
10. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the trimmer + edger when you are
tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
11. Disconnect the tool – Turn the trimmer + edger off and
disconnect the plug when: the unit is not in use; it is left
unattended; it is being examined because it is not working
correctly; the power supply cable is damaged; the blade is
being removed or changed; or when the trimmer is being
moved from one place to another.
12. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should
be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out
of the reach of children.
13. Maintain tools with care – Keep cutting edges sharp
and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk
of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect the trimmer + edger periodically and
replace if damaged. Repair the trimmer + edger only at an
authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
14. Checked for damaged parts – Before continuing to
use the trimmer + 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 for the alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's 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.
m
CAUTION!
The safety guard is critical to the safety of
the operator and the safety of people standing within a safe
distance of the trimmer + edger. The safety guard keeps the
unit in good working order and must always be in place during
operation. Failure to have the guard in place during operation
is dangerous and will void the warranty.
15. Keep away from the cutting line – It can seriously injure
the skin.
16. Do not try to stop the cutting device with your hands –
Always let it come to a stop by itself.
