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

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 (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. 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 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.
FOR ALL APPLIANCES
1) Avoid Dangerous Environments - Don't
use appliances in damp or wet locations.
2) Don't Use In Rain.
3)Keep Children Away - All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
4) 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.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) Use Right Appliance - Do not use
appliance for any job except that for which it
is intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (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.
8)
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only
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.
9) Extension 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. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. Table 1 (see page
13) shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection of
appliance cord from the extension cord during
operating:
i)Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this manual.
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don't carry
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch.
