IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMERS, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
- Replacement Parts - When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
- Polarized Appliance Connections - To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of
a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit 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 fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. This 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 change the equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
- Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don't use hedge
trimmers in damp or wet locations.
- Don't Use In Rain.
- Keep Children Away - All visitors should be kept at a
distance from work area.

Pull mains plug.
Switch off motor.
Wear protective gloves.
- Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and substantial footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
- Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used
for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
- Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance for any job
except that for which it is intended.
- WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only
with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
- 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 cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
