CAUTION!
The trimmer line spool will continue to rotate
after turning the trimmer OFF. Wait until the trimmer line spool
has completely stopped before making contact.
• Only use the same type of line originally provided with
the tool.
• Do not use the unit to cut grass that is not in contact with
the ground.
• Do not switch the string trimmer + edger ON in enclosed or
poorly ventilated spaces or in the presence of flammable
and/or explosive substances such as liquids, gases, and
powders.
• The user of the trimmer + edger is responsible for any
damage sustained by third parties that has been caused by
the grass trimmer within the working area.
• Only cut during broad daylight or with adequate
artificial light.
• Do not cross roads or gravel paths while the unit is
still running.
• When the trimmer + edger is not in use, store it in a dry
place and out of the reach of children.
• The trimmer + edger must be operated in a vertical position,
perpendicular to the ground.
• Check regularly that all screws are properly secured.

Electrical Safety

1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric grass trimmer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. Make sure that the mains voltage matches that listed on
the unit's rating label. Using the improper voltage can
damage the motor and injure the user.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL-
listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the appliance 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. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. The extension cord plug will fit into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

4. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
®
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric grass trimmer
+ edger to make contact with water while it is in
operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned
off, wipe dry before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use.
• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
offers some protection.
