GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS

AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT

- Don’t use hedge trimmers in damp or wet

locations.

DON’T USE IN RAIN.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY 

- All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.

DRESS PROPERLY

- Don’t 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. 

USE SAFETY GLASSES

- Also use face or dustmask if operation is dusty.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the

circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety. 

USE RIGHT APPLIANCE

- Do not use appliance for any job except that for which it is

intended.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock use only with an extension cord intended

for outdoor use, such as SW-A, S0W-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or
SJTOW-A. 

EXTENSION CORD.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an

extension cord be sure it is 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. The  following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING

- Don’t carry plugged in hedge trimmer with finger

on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in. 

DON’T ABUSE CORD

- Never carry hedge trimmer by cord or yank it to disconnect from

receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. 

DANGER:

Risk of cut. Keep hands away from blades. Keep both hands on handles when

power is on.

DO NOT ATTEMPT

to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are

moving. Make sure trimmer switch is off when clearing jammed material from blades. Do
not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the
hedge trimmer.

CAUTION: 

Blades coast after turn off.

DON’T FORCE HEDGE TRIMMER

- It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a

risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.

DON’T OVERREACH - 

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

STAY ALERT

- Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate hedge

trimmer when you are tired. 

DISCONNECT HEDGE TRIMMER

from the power supply when not in use or when

servicing or cleaning.

STORE IDLE HEDGE TRIMMER INDOORS

- When not in use, hedge trimmer should be

stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place- out of reach of children.

MAINTAIN HEDGE TRIMMER WITH CARE

- Keep cutting blades sharp and clean for

best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect extension cord periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS

- before further use of the hedge 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 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 damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.

SAFETY WARNINGS: DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical
insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical
system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result,
your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords
without concern for maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE:

Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when

operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting
from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Replacement parts: When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Repair or replace damaged cords.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire
extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the
receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does
not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable
extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.

SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNING

WARNING: 

Some dust created by this product contains chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  Some examples of
these chemicals are:

• compounds in fertilizers
• compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved safety equipment such as   
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD TO TRIMMER

An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that prevents the tool from coming
unplugged. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord about 8 inches from the
end, and insert it into the slot in the bottom of the handle area. Hook the loop formed by
doubling the cord over the tab, as shown in Figures 1 and 1A. Gently tug on the cord to
insure that it is firmly retained in the trimmer’s handle. Plug the receptacle end of the
extension cord into the plug blades in the trimmer. 

For Catalog No. HS1012 & HS2400

after insuring that the cord is retained in the handle, plug the receptacle end of the extension
cord into the pigtail cord in the trimmer.
