RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
PLEASE
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed to assure maximum safety and optimum performance. Read this manual before assembling and operating this appliance. Failure to comply with instructions may result in electrical shock, burns, fire, or personal injury.
WARNING: To reduce the
risk of electric shock, burns, fire or personal injury.
1. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS listed in this manual before/during operation of this trimmer.
2.TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit in a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
3.INSPECT UNIT FOR DAMAGE to the housing or plug. Keep all fasteners tight. Do not use if the trigger does not turn the
unit off properly. 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 for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect 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. Never use unit if cord or plug has been damaged, the motor or if unit itself is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped in water. Never operate with any air opening blocked. Keep air openings free of debris that may reduce air flow. Replace damaged parts that are chipped, cracked or damaged in any way. Keep line cutting blade sharp.
4. 
DOUBLE INSULATED to help
protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of 2 separate “layers” of electric insulation. Appliances built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can be plugged into any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet. Normal safety precautions must be observed when operating an electrical appliance. The double insulation system is only for added protection against injury resulting from a possible internal electrical insulation failure.
5.EXTENSION CORD - Use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use. Match wire gauge to the cord length. See table below. A
