Chapter 1: Important Safety Information

rupter (GFCI) protection on the
circuit or outlet to be used for trim-
mer/edger. You may use receptacles
with built-in GFCI protection for
this safety measure.
MAINTENANCE AND
STORAGE OF TRIMMER/
EDGER
1. Maintain trimmer/edger with care.
• Inspect trimmer/edger cord pe-
riodically, and if damaged, have
it repaired by a qualified service
facility.
• Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged.
• If trimmer/edger is not working
properly, has been dropped, dam-
aged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, have it repaired by a qualified
service center.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
• Keep guards in place and in work-
ing order.
2. Check damaged parts.
• If a part is damaged, carefully check
the damaged part before using the
trimmer/edger. Make sure the part
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 dam-
aged should be properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified service center
unless indicated elsewhere in this
manual.
• Use only geniune Remington®
replacement parts and accessories.
These are available from your local
dealer. Use of any non-Reming-
ton® parts or accessories could lead
to injury to the user, damage to the
unit, and void you warranty.
3. Servicing of Double-Insulated
Tools:
• In a double-insulated tool, two
systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No ground-
ing means is provided on a double-
insulated tool, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the tool.
Servicing a double-insulated tool
requires extreme care and knowl-
edge of the system, and should
be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for
a double-insulated tool must be
identical to the parts they replace.
4. Store idle trimmer/edger indoors.
When not in use, store trimmer/edger
and extension cord indoors in a dry
location. Store trimmer/edger above
the reach of children or in a locked
area out of the reach of children.
This manual is your guide to safe and proper
operation of the trimmer/edger.
