IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Use only the manufacturer's replacement line in the
cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment,
for example, metal wire, rope, or the like. To install any
other brand of cutting head to this string trimmer can
result in serious personal injury.
 Never operate unit without the grass deflector in place
and in good condition.
 Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming. Keep
string head below waist level. Never cut with the string
head located over 30 in. or more above the ground.
 Store idle appliances indoors – When not in use, string
trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place
out of the reach of children.
 Never use blades, flailing devices, wire, or rope. Unit is
designed for line trimmer use only. Use of any other ac-
cessories or attachments will increase the risk of injury.
 Inspect area to be cut. Remove objects (rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, string, etc.) which can be thrown or
become entangled in cutting head.
 Keep the air vents clean and free of debris to avoid
overheating the motor. Clean after each use.
 Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when not
in use. Carry the unit with the motor stopped.
 Store out of the reach of children.
 Keep hands and feet away from cutting area.
 Do not hang unit so that the switch trigger is depressed.
 Disconnect appliance – Disconnect the appliance from
the power supply when not in use, before servicing, when
changing accessories.
 When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
 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 elec-
trician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
 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 mea-
sure of safety.
 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.
 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 line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection
of appliance cord from the extension cord during oper-
ating, secure the extension cord to the appliance plug
as described in the Operating Manual.
 Don't Abuse Cord – Never carry appliance by cord or
yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
 Stop the motor, wait until all moving parts come to a
complete stop, and remove the battery pack or discon-
nect from power supply before cleaning or performing
any maintenance.
 Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse off your
product and do not expose the product to rain or wet
conditions. Store indoors in a dry area. Corrosive liquids,
water, and chemicals can enter the product's electronic
components and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack, which
can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and
serious personal injury. Remove any buildup of dirt and
debris by wiping the product clean with a dry cloth oc-
casionally.
