READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAFETY SPECTACLES OR GOGGLES — Wear at all times when trimming.
2. GUARD — Do not use trimmer without guard attached.
3. NYLON LINE — Keep face, hands and feet clear of rotating nylon line at all times. Do not
extend beyond length specified in this manual. Wear long pants to protect your legs.
4. KEEP ALL BY-STANDERS AWAY — at a safe distance from work area, especially children.
5. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING — donʼt carry plugged-in tool with finger on trigger.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL — at a rate faster than the rate at which it is able to cut
effectively.
7. USE THE RIGHT TOOL — Do not use this tool for any job except that for which it is intended.
8. DONʼT OVERREACH— Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
9. WARNING — To prevent electric shock hazard, use only with an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Always connect extension cords to a fused line or one protected by a circuit
breaker.
10. DONʼT ABUSE CORD — Donʼt yank cord from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
11. EXTENSION CORDS — to prevent disconnection of extension cord during operation, use
extension cord retainer as described in this manual.
12. DAMAGE TO UNIT — If you strike or become entangled with a foreign object, stop trimmer
immediately, unplug, check for damage and have any damage repaired before further
operation is attempted. Do not operate with a broken hub or spool.
13. DAMAGE TO CORD — Keep power cord away from rotating line. If you damage the
extension cord, unplug it at the electrical outlet before moving the trimmer or examining the
damage. If there is damage to the extension cord, replace cord before further use.
14. DISCONNECT TOOL — When not in use, when replacing line, or prior to cleaning hub.

these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
19. STORE IDLE TOOLS INDOORS — When not in use, tools should be stored indoors in dry,
locked-up placed—out of reach of children.
20. THE ROTATING LINE PERFORMS A CUTTING FUNCTION — Use care when trimming
around screens and desirable plantings.

Double Insulation
AN IMPORTANT CONSUMER FEATURE
Your tool is double insulated to give you added safety. This means that it is constructed
throughout with two separate "layers" of electrical insulation or one double thickness of
insulation between you and the toolʼs electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, the
extension cord used with your tool can be plugged into any conventional 120 volt electrical
outlet without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from
a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: When servicing double insulated tools, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT
PARTS. Replace or repair damaged cords.
Polarized Plug
This product is supplied with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other ). This plug
will fit into a polarized outlet (receptacle) only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into your
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper
polarized outlet. Do not modify or change this plug in any way.
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 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.
