SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
8) 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.
9) 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. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t carry plugged-in appliance with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
11) Handle cord carefully – Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
12) Don’t Force Appliance – It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a
risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
13) Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14) Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
appliance when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication that cause drowsiness.
15) Disconnect Appliance – Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, when changing accessories such as
blades, and the like.
16) Keep guards in place and in working order.
17) Keep hands and feet away from cutting area.
