Safety Information

WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious

injury, do not plug in the grass trimmer until the following

steps have been read and understood.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your grass

trimmer.

• READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN about the tool’s

applications, limitations and possible hazards.

• AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. DO NOT use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.

• DO NOT use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

• KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE. NEVER allow children near the tool.

• DRESS FOR SAFETY. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery (rings,

watches, etc.) when operating the tool. Loose clothing can get caught and draw you into

moving parts.

• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

• ALWAYS remove the extension cord plug from the electrical outlet when making

adjustments, changing parts or cleaning.

• AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UP. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position

before plugging in the extension cord.

• TREAT the extension cord with care. Do not use it to carry the tool. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately; they may

create a shock or fire hazard.

• NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not

leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order.

• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage

or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged

should be properly repaired or replaced before use.

Safety Information

• KEEP THE HANDLE DRY, CLEAN AND FREE OF OIL AND GREASE. Always use

a clean cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents, brake fluids, gasoline, or other

petroleum products to clean the tool, because they may damage plastic parts.

• Use only flexible, non-metallic line recommended by the manufacturer. Never use

wire, wire rope, and the like, as it can cause serious injury.

• Polarized Appliance Connections

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance 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 into 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.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

A grass trimmer can throw foreign objects into

your eyes, which could cause permanent eye

damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not

glasses). Ordinary eye glasses have only impact-

resistant lenses—they are NOT safety goggles.

DOUBLE INSULATED

This grass trimmer has a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. A.

The grass trimmer is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between you

and the tool’s electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal

motor components with protective insulation.

Electrical Information

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or

damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Your grass

trimmer is wired at the factory for 120 v operation. Connect

to a 120 v, 15 a circuit, and use a 15 a time-delayed fuse or

circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if the extension cord

is worn, cut or damaged in any way, replace it immediately.

WARNING: Use only identical replacement parts when

servicing the grass trimmer, to avoid injury.

WARNING: Double insulation does not take the place of

normal safety precautions when operating this tool.

WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTROCUTION:

1. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a tool

with double insulation. Servicing should be performed by

a qualified technician.

2. Do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.

1) 2-prong plug

2) Properly grounded extension cord

Electrical Information

CAUTION! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF

UNCERTAIN, HAVE IT CHECKED BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

USE THE PROPER 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

product will draw. An undersized cord will cause overheating. The table below shows the

correct size to use depending on cord length and name plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the

next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Recommended

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always

replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before use. Keep

extension cords away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should comprise a wire of at least 18

gauge and should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to

the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is identical

to that stamped on the motor name plate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: This grass trimmer is for outdoor use only. Do

not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

WARNING: Although this tool is double insulated, the

extension cord and receptacle must still be grounded while

in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
