DOUBLE INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

This unit is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate “layers” of electrical insulation 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 standard 120 volt electrical outlet.

Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double in- sulation system only provides added protec- tion against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.

WARNING: All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, wires, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be recommended 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 person- nel can cause the double insulation construc- tion to become ineffective and result in seri- ous injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Before using the hedge trimmer, ensure all fasteners are secure.

Examine parts for damage. Do not use dam- aged parts.

NOTE: If you need assistance or find parts missing or damaged, call 1-800-554-6723.
