IMPORTANT WARNINGS FOR STRING
TRIMMERS
1. Use the proper size and type of cutting line. Do not use metal
wire, rope or the like. Do not use cutting line heavier than that
recommended by the manufacturer. See the accessory section of
this manual for more detailed information about the proper
cutting line to use.
2. Keep the cutting line trimmed to the proper length (done
automatically by the appliance). Make sure that the guard is
firmly in place, in working order and positioned between yourself
and the cutting line.
3. Wear long pants and substantial footwear to protect yourself from
injury caused by flying debris. This is especially important when
edging with the appliance.
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.
