SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
When using electric
gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions must always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
serious injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. FOR ALL DOUBLE-
INSULATEDAPPLIANCES
a) Replacement parts. When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
b) 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.
2. FOR ALL APPLIANCES
a) Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t use
appliances in damp or wet locations.
b) Don’t use in rain.
c) Keep children away. All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
d) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. They can be caught
in moving parts. Use of protective gloves
and substantial footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
e) Use safety glasses. Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
f)
Use right appliance. Do not use appliance
for any job except that for which it is
intended.
g) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for an added measure of
safety.
h)
WARNING! To reduce the risk of
electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use,
such as an extension cord of cord type
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
i)
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 extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
i)
Make a knot as shown in Figure 2
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
