CAUTION!
The trimmer line spool will continue to rotate
after turning the trimmer OFF. Wait until the trimmer line spool
has completely stopped before making contact.
• Only use the same type of line originally provided with the
tool.
• Do not use the unit to cut grass that is not in contact with
the ground.
• Do not switch the grass trimmer ON in enclosed or poorly
ventilated spaces or in the presence of flammable and/or
explosive substances such as liquids, gases, and powders.
• The user of the trimmer is responsible for any damage
sustained by third parties that has been caused by the
grass trimmer within the working area.
• Only cut during broad daylight or with adequate artificial
light.
• Do not cross roads or gravel paths while the unit is still
running.
• When the trimmer is not in use, store it in a dry place and
out of the reach of children.
• The trimmer must be operated in a vertical position,
perpendicular to the ground.
• Check regularly that all screws are properly secured.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric grass trimmer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. Make sure that the mains voltage matches that listed on
the unit's rating label. Using the improper voltage can
damage the motor and injure the user.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL-
listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the appliance 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. The extension cord 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 modify the appliance plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug
in any way.
4. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A , or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. For lengths less than 50 ft (15 m), a No.16 AWG
(or greater) extension cord should be used. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
Additional Electrical Safety Rules
• The voltage must correspond to the one marked on the
technical data plate (120 V~60 Hz). Do not use other
sources of power.
• Never pass the grass trimmer over the extension cord when
the grass trimmer is in use as this could cut the cord. Make
sure you know where the cord is at all times.
• Never use the tool when it is raining or when excessively
moist and humid conditions are present. Do not
cut damp grass or leave the tool outside overnight.
• The power supply cable should be checked regularly to
make sure it is perfectly intact without any signs of wear or
damage. If the cable is not in good condition, do not use
the unit.
• Only use an extension cable that is rated for outdoor use.
Keep the extension cord away from the cutting area, sharp
edges, heat, fuels, damp areas, and oily surfaces.
• Damage to unit – If the trimmer strikes a foreign object
or becomes entangled with it, stop the tool immediately.
Unplug it, check for damage, and have any damage
repaired before proceeding with operation. Do not operate
the tool with a broken spool cover or spool. Contact

WARNING
m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric grass trimmer
to make contact with water while it is in operation. If
the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated extension cord
for outdoor, all-weather use.
• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
offers some protection.
