DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
This unit is Double Insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two
separate “layers” of electrical insula-
tion instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not in-
tended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor
should a means of grounding be add-
ed to this unit. As a result, the exten-
sion cord used with your unit can be
plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed
when operating any electrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury result-
ing from an internal electrical insulation
failure.
WARNING:
All electrical repairs to
this unit, including housing, switch,
motor, etc., must be diagnosed and re-
paired by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insu-
lated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double insulated
appliance is marked with the words
DOUBLE INSULATION
or
DOUBLE INSU-
LATED
. The symbol
(square within a
square) may also be marked on the
appliance. Failure to have the unit re-
paired by an Authorized Service Deal-
er can cause the double insulation
construction to become ineffective and
result in serious injury.

EDGING METHODS
WARNING:
The operator or others
must not try to clear away cut material
with the motor running or the blade
turning to avoid serious injury.
WARNING:
Stop motor and blade
and disconnect unit from power source
before removing materials wrapped
around blade shaft to avoid injury.
S
Allow the motor to reach full speed
before entering the material to be
cut. The blade has maximum cutting
power at full speed and is less likely
to bind or stall.
S
If blade does not turn when switch is
activated, make sure it is not stuck or
bound by debris.
Blade rotates mo-
mentarily after the
switch is released.
Stop rotating
blade by contact
with cut material.
S
Always release the switch and allow
motor to stop when not cutting.
S
To stop the motor, release the switch;
allow blade to stop turning before re-
moving it from the cut.
As you become familiar with your edger,
you will be able to determine your own
operating pace. Conditions such as
depth of cut, angle of cut, and material
being cut will regulate the speed and
time required for your edging job.
