IMPORTANT WARNINGS FOR STRING TRIMMERS

•The guard must be installed before trimming or edging - if not, the motor will overheat.

•When replacing the AFS outfeed line, use only .060” diameter TWISTED line - otherwise the unit will not function properly.

•When replacing the HDL fixed line use only Craftsman line item #85876.

•Do not bump the feed head against the ground - it will disrupt the feed mechanism.

SAFETY WARNINGS

DOUBLE INSULATION

NOTE: This symbol denotes Double Insulation. Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection. NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool. REPLACEMENT PARTS: When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

POLARIZED PLUGS

Repair or replace damaged cords.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable

3 wire outdoor extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
