GENERAL Safety Rules

WARNING:

When using the electric grass trimmer,

basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:

a) FOR ALL DOUBLE–INSULATED APPLIANCES

1. Replacement parts – When servicing, use only

identical replacement parts.

2. Polarized appliance connections – To reduce the risk

of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug
(i.e. 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 extension cord. This plug
will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the
plug still does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse
the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a proper wall outlet. Do not change
the appliance plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.

b) FOR ALL APPLIANCES

1. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use

appliances in damp or wet locations. Do not use
in rain.

2. Keep children and bystanders away – Children and

other spectators, including pets, should be kept at
least 50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area.
When the grass is cut, stones and debris contained
in the grass can be picked up by the trimmer and
dispersed into the air. These flying projectiles can
cause blindness or other bodily injury.

3. Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing

when using the trimmer to prevent head, hand, or
feet injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

4. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,

snug-fitting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and
head protection.

5. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job

except that for which they are intended.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock,

use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor
use, such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A,
or SJTOW-A.
