IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Maintain Edger with Care – Keep sharp cutting edge clean for best performance and to reduce 

the risk of injury. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect edger cord 

periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension 

cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keeps handles dry, clean, and free from oil and 

grease.

• Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the edger, 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 alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-

ing, and any other condition that might effect its 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.

• Use Right Appliance – Do not use edger for any job except that for which it is intended.

• Extension Cord – Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. W

• User being against exceeding the maximum capacity, using the tool as it was not intended. 

hen using an 

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your prod-uct will draw. A 

wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in 

length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the 

cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and 

overheating.
