DESCRIPTION

KNOW YOUR TRIMMER / EDGER (Fig. 2, 2a, 2b and 3)

NOTE: Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

Your trimmer/edger has a precision built electric motor and it should only be connected to a 120-volt, 60 Hz AC ONLY power supply (normal household current). The trimmer should always be used with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet.

DO NOT operate this trimmer on direct current (DC). The large voltage drop would cause a loss of power and the motor would overheat.

If the trimmer does not operate when plugged into correct 120-volt, 60 Hz AC ONLY outlet, check the power supply. The trimmer comes with a 12-in. pigtail power cord and should be plugged into a proper extension cord.
