cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or cor-

ners. Turn off all controls before unplugging.

Do not expose cords to heat, oil, or water. Do

not use with damaged cord or plug. If unit is

not working as it should, has been dropped,

damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into wa-

ter, return it to your authorized service dealer

for repair. Unplug the unit from the power

source when not in use, before servicing, and

when changing accessories and/or attach-

ments. Do not put any object into openings.

Do not use with any opening blocked; keep

free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may re-

duce air flow.
S

Use a voltage supply as shown on unit.

S

Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in

unventilated areas or where dust or explosive

vapors can build up.

S

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this

equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other) and will require the use

of a polarized extension cord. The appliance

plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only

one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the

extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug

still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized ex-

tension cord. A polarized extension cord will

require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This

plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only

one way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper wall outlet. Do not change the equip-

ment plug, extension cord receptacle, or ex-

tension cord plug in any way.

S

To reduce risk of electrical shock, use ex-

tension cords specifically marked as suit-

able for outdoor appliances having electri-

cal rating not less than the rating of unit.

Cord must be marked with suffix “W--A” (in

Canada “W”). Make sure your extension

cord is in good condition. Inspect extension

cord before use and replace if damaged. Do

not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation

must be intact with no cracks or deteriora-

tion. Plug connectors must be undamaged.

The extension cord used to reach the pow-

er source must be heavy enough to carry

current from the power source the full

length of the extension cord to the unit. An

undersized extension cord will cause a

drop in line voltage resulting in loss of pow-

er and overheating. If in doubt, use the next

heavier gauge. The lower the gauge num-

ber, the heavier the cord (see SELECT AN

EXTENSION CORD in the OPERATION

section).

S

Do not use multiple cords.

S

Keep the extension cord clear of operator and

obstacles at all times. Position cord so that it

will not be caught on branches.

S

Tie cord to cord retainer and connect to re-

cessed plug as shown in this manual to pre-

vent damage to unit and/or extension cord

and to reduce the possibility of the exten-

sion cord disconnecting from the unit during

operation. See ATTACH THE EXTENSION

CORD TO YOUR TRIMMER in the OP-

ERATION section.

S

Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-

lation and connectors on the powerhead and

extension cord before each use. If there is

any damage, do not use until damage is re-

paired by your authorized service dealer.

S

Do not use the unit if the switch does not turn

the unit on and off properly. Repairs to the

switch must be made by your authorized ser-

vice dealer.

S

Avoid unintentional starting of the unit. Nev-

er carry unit with your finger on the switch.

Be sure the switch is in the OFF position

and never touch the switch when connect-

ing extension cord.

S

Avoid any body contact with any grounded

conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes,

to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

S

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on circuit or

outlet to be used. Receptacles are avail-

able having built-in GFCI protection and

may be used for this measure of safety.

S

Stop the motor immediately if you are ap-

proached.

DOUBLE INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

This unit is double insulated to help protect

against electric shock. Double insulation

construction consists of two separate “layers”

of electrical insulation instead of grounding.

Tools built with this insulation system are not

intended to be grounded. No grounding

means is provided on this unit, nor should a

means of grounding be added to this unit. As a

result, the extension 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 resulting from

an internal electrical insulation failure.

WARNING:

All electrical repairs to this unit, including hous-

ing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and

repaired by qualified service personnel. Re-

placement parts for a double insulated ap-

pliance must be recommended by the manufac-

turer. A double insulated appliance is marked

with the words “double insulation” or “double in-

sulated”. The symbol (square within a square)

may also be marked on the appliance. Fail-

ure to have the unit repaired by qualified service

personnel can cause the double insulation

construction to become ineffective and result in

serious injury.

UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY

WARNING:

Disconnect unit from the

power supply before performing mainte-

nance, or when changing trimmer line.
S

Inspect unit before use. Replace damaged

parts. Make sure all handles, guards, and
