thrown or become entangled in cut- ting head.

your waist. Cutting head can come dangerously close to your body.

cial light.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

_WARNING: Disconnect unit

Maintain unit according to recom- mended procedures. Keep cutting line at proper length. Follow instruc- tions for changing trimmer line.

Have all service and maintenance not explained in this manual per- formed by a Sears Service Center to avoid creating a hazard.

Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Clean unit and labels with a damp sponge. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

Keep the air vents clean and free of

debris to avoid overheating the mo- tor. Clean after each use.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE

Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when not in use.

Carry the unit with motor stopped.

Store unit indoors in a high, dry place out of the reach of children. Store unit unplugged.

Do not hang unit so that the trigger switch is depressed.

DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUC-

TION

This unit is double insulated to help

protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two

separate 'layers" of electrical insula- tion instead of grounding.

Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No

grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding

be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can

be plugged into any polarized 120 volt electrical outlet.

Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against in-

ury resulting from an internal electrical insu at on failure.

_WARNING:

All electrical repairs

to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service person- nel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be recom- mended by the manufacturer. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words "double insulation" or "double insulated." The symbol

(square within a square) [] may also be marked on the appliance. Failure

to have the unit repaired by qualified service personnel can cause the double insulation construction to be- come ineffective and result in serious

injury.
