WARNING!

 

When using electric gardening appliances, 

basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce 

the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the 

following:

1.  Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use appliances 

in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.

2.  Keep children and bystanders away – Children and 

other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least 

50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the 

grass is cut, stones and debris contained in the grass 

can be picked up by the trimmer and dispersed into the 

air. These flying projectiles can cause blindness or other 

bodily injury. 

3.  Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing when 

using the trimmer to prevent head, hand, or feet injuries. 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught 

in moving parts.

4.  Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear, snug-

fitting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and head 

protection.

5.  Use the right tools – 

Do not use tools for any job except 

that for which they are intended.

6.  Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry plugged-in 

tool with finger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is off 

before plugging in the tool.

7.  Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the tool by the cord 

or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. 

Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

8.  Do not force the tool –

 It will do the job better and with 

less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it 

was designed.

9.  Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times.

10. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate the trimmer when you are tired, or 

under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

11. Disconnect the tool – 

Turn the trimmer off and 

disconnect the plug when: the unit is not in use; it is left 

unattended; it is being examined because it is not working 

correctly; the power supply cable is damaged; the trimmer 

line is being removed or changed; or when the trimmer is 

being moved from one place to another.

12. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should 

be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out 

of the reach of children.

13. Maintain tools with care – Keep cutting edges sharp 

and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk 

of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing 

accessories. Inspect the trimmer periodically and replace 

if damaged. Repair the trimmer only at an authorized 

service facility. Keep handle dry, clean, and free from oil 

and grease.

14. Checked for damaged parts – Before continuing to use 

the 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 

the alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that 

may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or other part that 

is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an 

authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in 

this manual.

m

CAUTION! 

The safety guard is critical to the safety 

of the operator and the safety of people standing within a 

safe distance of the trimmer. The safety guard keeps the unit 

in good working order and must always be in place during 

operation. Failure to have the guard in place during operation 

is dangerous and will void the warranty.

15. Keep away from the cutting line – 

It can seriously injure 

the skin.

16. Do not try to stop the cutting device with your hands – 

Always let it come to a stop by itself.
