GENERAL Safety Rules

mWARNING! When using the electric grass trimmer

to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury,

including the following:

A) FOR ALL DOUBLE–INSULATED APPLIANCES

1. Replacement parts – When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts.

2. Polarized appliance connections – To reduce the risk

of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (i.e.

one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use

of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will t

into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug

does not t fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug.

If the plug still does not t, obtain a correct polarized

extension cord. This plug will t into the polarized wall

outlet only one way. If the plug still does not t fully into

the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not

t, contact a qualied electrician to install a proper wall

outlet. Do not change the appliance plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

B) FOR ALL APPLIANCES

1. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use appliances

in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.

2. Keep children and bystanders away – Children and

other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least

50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the

grass is cut, stones and debris contained in the grass can

be picked up by the trimmer + edger and dispersed into

the air. These ying projectiles can cause blindness or

other bodily injury.

3. Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing when

using the trimmer + edger to prevent head, hand, or feet

injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can

get caught in moving parts.

4. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,

snug-tting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and head

protection.

5. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job except

that for which they are intended.

6. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry plugged-in

tool with nger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is o

before plugging in the tool.

7. Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the tool by the cord

or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

8. Do not force the tool – It will do the job better and with

less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it

was designed.

9. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

10. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate the trimmer + edger when you are

tired, or under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

11. Disconnect the tool – Turn the trimmer + edger o and

disconnect the plug when: the trimmer + edger is not in

use; it is left unattended; it is being examined because it is

not working correctly; the power supply cable is damaged;

the trimmer line is being removed or changed or when

the trimmer + edger is being moved from one place to

another.

be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out

of the reach of children.

and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk

of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
