Use only the manufacturer’s 0.080 in. diameter
replacement line in the cutting head. Do not use any
other cutting attachment, for example, metal wire, rope,
or the like. To install any other brand of cutting head to
this string trimmer can result in serious personal injury.
Never operate unit without the grass deflector in place
and in good condition.
Check damaged parts - Before further use of the tool, 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 conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming. Keep
string head below waist level. Never cut with the string
head located over 30 in. or more above the ground.
Store idle appliances indoors- When not in use, string
trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place
out of the reach of children.
Extenstion cord - Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
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. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom mended.
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. To reduce the risk of disconnection of
appliance cord from the extension cord during operation,
retain extension cord as shown in figure 7.
Never use blades, flailing devices, wire, or rope. Unit
is designed for line trimmer use only. Use of any other
accessories or attachments will increase the risk of injury.
Inspect area to be cut. Remove objects (rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, line, etc.) which can be thrown or
become entangled in cutting head.
Keep the air vents clean and free of debris to avoid
overheating the motor. Clean after each use.
Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when not
in use. Carry the unit with the motor stopped.
Store unplugged and out of the reach of children.
Do not hang unit so that the switch trigger is depressed.
Do not use multiple cords.
Do not abuse the cord - Never carry the unit by the cord
or yank extension cord to disconnect unit.
Keep the extension cord clear of operator and obstacles
at all times. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, water, or
sharp edges.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service
center to avoid risk.
