Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: 

When using electric gardening 

appliances, basic safety precautions should 

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric 

shock, and personal injury, including the following:

WARNING: Read all instructions

FOR ALL APPLIANCES

1)   Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use 

appliances in damp or wet locations.

2)  Don’t Use In Rain.

3)  Keep Children Away - All visitors should be kept 

at a distance from work area.

4)   Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. 

Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear 

is recommended when working outdoors. Wear 

protective hair covering to contain long hair.

5)  Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust 

mask if operation is dusty.

6)  Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance for 

any job except that for which it is intended.

7)  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.

8)   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.

9)   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 1; or

ii)   Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps 

or connectors described in this manual.

10)  Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry 

plugged-in appliance with finger on switch. Be 

sure switch is off when plugging in.

11)  Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry appliance by 

cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. 

Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

12)  Don’t Force Appliance - It will do the job better 

and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the 

rate for which it was designed.

13)  Don’t Overreach - Keep proper footing and 

balance at all times.

14)  Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use 

common sense. Do not operate appliance when 

you are tired.

15)  Disconnect Appliance - Disconnect the appliance 

from the power supply when not in use, before 

servicing, when changing accessories such as 

blades, and the like.

16)  Store Idle Appliances Indoors - When not in use, 

appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and 

high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.

17)  Maintain Appliance With Care - Keep cutting 

edge sharp and clean for best performance and 

to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions 

for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect 

appliance cord periodically, and if damaged, 

have it repaired by an authorized service facility. 

Inspect extension cords periodically and replace 

if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free 

from oil and grease.

18)  Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the 

appliance, 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.
