PPLIANCE

WARNING

—To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury, follow these safety

instructions.

It is essential that you or any other operator of

the appliance

read and understand the contents of

this manual before operating the appliance. Pay

particular attention to the safety alert symbol

which means CAUTION, WARNING or

DANGER—personal safety instruction. Read and

understand the instruction because it has to do with

safety.

Failure to comply with these instructions

may result in personal injury, risk of fire, or

electrical shock.

Avoid dangerous environments

—Do not use the

trimmer in damp or wet locations.

Do not use the trimmer in the rain.

Keep children and bystanders away

—All visitors

should be kept at a distance from the work area.

Dress properly

—Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry; they can be caught in moving parts. Use of

rubber gloves and substantial footwear is

recommended when working outdoors. Wear

protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Use safety glasses

—Safety glasses are available at

most retail stores. Use a face or dust mask if

operation is dusty.

Use the right appliance

—Do not use the trimmer for

any job except that for which it was intended.

Use a polarized Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) outlet

—GFCI protection should be provided

on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the

gardening appliance. Receptacles are available

having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for

this measure of safety.

Avoid unintentional starting

—Do not carry a

plugged–in trimmer with your finger on the switch. Be

sure switch is off when plugging in the trimmer.

Do not abuse the cord

—Never carry the trimmer by

cord or yank it to disconnect it from the power outlet.

Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Keep grass shield in place and in working order.

Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area. Do

not grasp the exposed razor blade under the grass

shield.

Do not force the trimmer

—It will do the job better

and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate

for which it was designed.

Do not overreach

—Keep proper footing and balance

at all times.

Stay alert

—Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate the trimmer when you are

tired.

Disconnect the trimmer

—Disconnect the trimmer

from the power supply when not in use or before

servicing.

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 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 polarized extension cord. A polarized

extension cord requires the use of a polarized wall

outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet

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

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

contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall

outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension

cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
