covering to contain long hair.
•

•
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to

•
EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord be
sure it is 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 following table 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.
•
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING -
Don’t carry plugged in hedge trimmer with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
•
DON’T ABUSE CORD -
Never carry hedge trimmer by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
DANGER:
Risk of cut. Keep hands away from blades. Keep both hands on handles when power is on.
•
DO NOT ATTEMPT
to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure
trimmer switch is off when clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades
or cutting edges when picking up or holding the hedge trimmer.
CAUTION:
Blades coast after turn off.
•
DON’T FORCE HEDGE TRIMMER -
It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the
rate for which it was designed.
•
DON’T OVERREACH -
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
STAY ALERT -
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate hedge trimmer when you are tired.
•
DISCONNECT HEDGE TRIMMER
from the power supply when not in use or when servicing or cleaning.
•
STORE IDLE HEDGE TRIMMER INDOORS -
When not in use, hedge trimmer should be stored indoors in a
dry and high or locked-up place- out of reach of children.
•
MAINTAIN HEDGE TRIMMER WITH CARE -
Keep cutting blades sharp and clean for best performance and
to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect extension cord periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
•
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS -
before further use of the hedge trimmer, 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 alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.
SAFETY WARNINGS: DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one
double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this insulation
system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which
permits you to use extension cords 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.
Replacement parts:
When servicing all tools,
USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Repair or replace
damaged cords.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized outdoor 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections
will fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small
blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
obtain a suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
SECURING POWER SUPPLY CORD
Secure the power supply cord and a suitable extension cord as shown.
