always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
WARNING: Read all instructions
FOR ALL APPLIANCES
1) Avoid Dangerous Environment - 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.

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) 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.
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 shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
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. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
11) Don't Abuse Cord - Never carry appliance by cord
12A Electric Dethatcher
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
12) Don't grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting
edges when picking up or holding the
appliance.
13) Don't Force Appliance - It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at
the rate for which it was designed.
14) Don't Overreach - Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
15) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate appliance
when you are tired.
16) Disconnect Appliance - Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply when not in use,
before servicing, when changing accessories such
as blades, and the like.
17) Store Idle Appliances Indoors - When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in
dry, and high or locked-up place - out of reach of
children.
18) Maintain Appliance With Care - Keep cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect appliance cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an
authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
19) Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other condition that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless indicated elsewhere in this
manual.
