General Safety

•  AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS –

 Don’t use this 

product in rainy, stormy, damp or wet locations. Do not 
operate in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in 
these products normally spark, and the sparks might  
ignite fumes.

•  DRESS PROPERLY –

 Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry 

and wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.  
They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber  
gloves and substantial footwear is recommended  

when working outdoors.

•  USE SAFETY GLASSES –

 Wear safety glasses with side 

shields or goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI 
Z87.1 standard when operating this product.

•  USE DUST MASK –

 Wear face or dust mask when  

operating this product.

•  USE HEARING PROTECTION –

 Wear ear plugs or muffs 

when operating this product.

•  GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER –

 (GFCI) pro-

tection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to 
be used for this product if you are using an extension cord. 
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection 
and may be used.

•  DOUBLE INSULATION – 

This product has double insula-

tion. This means that all external metal parts are insulated 
from the electrical supply. This is achieved by introducing 
an insulation layer between electrical and mechanical  
parts. The double insulation guarantees you the greatest    
possible safety.

•  EXTENSION CORD –

 Make sure your extension cord is 

in good condition. Use only extension cords having an 
electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. An 
undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage 
resulting in loss of power and overheating.

•  POLARIZED PLUGS – 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, 

this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than 
the other). This product must be used with a suitable 
polarized extension cord. Polarized connections will fit to-
gether only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of 
the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If 
the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse 
the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension 
cord. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any 
way.

m

 WARNING: 

Use outdoor extension cords marked 

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or 
SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce 
the risk of electric shock.

•  DISCONNECT UNIT

 from the power supply when not 

in use or when servicing or cleaning. Do not leave unat-
tended.

•  DON’T ABUSE CORD – 

Never carry or pull this product by 

the cord or yank the cord to disconnect from the recepta-
cle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

•  STAY ALERT – 

Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate the garden shredder when you are 
tired or under the influence of drugs or medication.

•  STORE IDLE UNIT INDOORS – 

When not in use, the 

garden shredder should be stored indoors in a dry and 
high or locked-up place, out of children’s reach.

•  MAINTAIN UNIT WITH CARE – 

Keep clean for best 

performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect 
extension cord periodically and replace if damaged. Keep 
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

•  CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS –

 Before further use of 

the product, any part that is damaged should be care-
fully 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. Any part that is damaged should be properly 
repaired or replaced. Call our customer service help line 
for assistance at 1-866-766-9563 for assistance.
