3.  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.  This design is 

referred to as double-insulated, indicated by 

.

4.  WARNING: The cord of this product contains 

lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), 

chemicals known to the State of California 

to cause cancer, and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.  

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, 

et seq.

)

5. 

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.

Extension cord Size

The following table shows the correct 

cord 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.

personal Safety

1.  Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewelry. 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.

2. 

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and 

heavy-duty work gloves.  Use face or 

dust mask if operation is dusty.

3.  Avoid Unintentional Starting - Do not carry 

plugged-in appliance with finger on switch. 

Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

4.  Do not Overreach - 

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

5.  Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired.

6.  People with pacemakers should consult their 

physician(s) before use.  Electromagnetic fields in 

close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause 

pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.  

In addition, people with pacemakers should: 

•  Avoid operating alone. 

•  Don’t use with power switch locked on. 

•  Properly maintain and inspect to 

avoid electrical shock. 

•  Any power cord must be properly grounded.  

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) 

should also be implemented – 

it prevents sustained electrical shock.

7. 

Keep hands and feet away from cutting area.
