SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read and understand all
instructions. Read and follow all Safety
rules and operating instructions before using
this product. Read instructions carefully before
assembling. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.

1. OPERATOR SAFETY

a) Use this trimmer for cutting weeds and
grass only. Do not use for any other purpose.
b) Always wear safety glasses or similar
eye protection when operating or performing
maintenance.
c) Use safety equipment. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection may be used for appropriate
conditions.
d) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Do
not operate the tool when barefoot or when
wearing open sandals. Wear long pants to
protect your legs.
e) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use tool while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
f) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is "OFF" before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging
in tools that have the switch "ON" invites
accidents. Do not use a tool if the power
switch does not turn it "ON" and "OFF".
g) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
h) Keep face, hands and feet clear of
rotating nylon line at all times.
i) Keep by-standers, children, visitors
and animals at least 50 ft. (15m) away
while operating. If approached, stop unit
immediately.
j) Save these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If someone borrows this tool,
make sure they have these instructions.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this trimmer is equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other.)
This tool will require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The polarized plug will fit
in a polarized receptacle only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the receptacle,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the tool
plug, extension cord receptacle or the
extension cord plug in any way. Double
Insulation eliminates the need for the three
wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. Before plugging in the
tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is
within the voltage marked on the nameplate.
Do not use "AC only" rated tools with a DC
power supply.
b) Use proper extension cords. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current of the
tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
