important safety instructions
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Do not use with damaged plug. If tool is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an authorized service center.
Do not leave the tool when plugged in. Unplug from the power outlet when not in use, before servicing, changing accessories, and before storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Don’t Abuse Cord – Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on a cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners or yank to disconnect. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
In a double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
For household use only.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) – Protection should be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for the edger. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t carry plugged in edger with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the edger.
Don’t Force Edger – It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at rate for which it was designed.
Maintain Edger with Care – Keep sharp cutting edge clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect edger cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keeps handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the edger, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that might effect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
Use Right Appliance – Do not use edger for any job except that for which it is intended.
Extension Cord – Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your prod- uct will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
