waRNING! Some dust created by  

power sanding, sawing, grinding, 

drilling and other construction activities 

contains chemicals known to the state of 

California to cause cancer, birth defects 

or other reproductive harm. Some 

examples of these chemicals are:

•   Lead from lead-based paints;
•   Crystalline silica from bricks and cement 

and other masonry products;

•   Arsenic and chromium from chemically-

treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, 
depending on how often you do this type 
of work. To reduce your exposure to these 
chemical:

•   Work in a well ventilated area;
•   Work with approved safety equipment, 

such as those dust masks that are specially 
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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-INSulaTEd 

aPPlIaNCES

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 gloves and 
substantial footwear is recommended 
when working outdoors. Wear protective 
hair covering to contain long hair.

e)  use safety glasses.

 Always use eye 

protection plus a 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 this 
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 gauge. The smaller the gauge 
number, the heavier the cord. To reduce
