2. Keep children away. Keep all bystand-

ers a safe distance from work area.

3. Do not use trimmer/edger for any job

except that for which it is intended.

WARNING: When using electric

gardening appliances, basic safety

precautions should always be fol-

lowed to reduce the risk of ﬁre,

electric shock, and personal injury,

including the following:

WARNING: This product con-

tains chemicals known to the

State of California to cause can-

cer or birth defects, or other

reproductive harm.

4. Only well instructed adults should

operate trimmer/edger. Never allow

children to operate trimmer/edger.

5. Dress properly when operating trim-

mer/edger.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

elry that can get caught in the mov-

ing parts of the trimmer/edger.

• Always wear rubber gloves and

substantial foot wear when work-

ing outside.

• Always wear protective hair cover-

ing to contain long hair.

• Always wear a face or dust mask if

operation is dusty.

6. Always wear eye protection that

meets or exceeds the requirements of

ANSI Z87.1.

7. Wear long pants and shoes when

operating this tool.

WARNING: To reduce the risk

of electric shock, use only with

an extension cord intended for

outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A,

STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,

SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock,

the trimmer/edger has a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the

other) and will require the use of a

polarized extension cord. The trim-

mer/edger’s plug will ﬁt into a polar-

ized 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

trimmer/edger plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in

any way.

8. 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 trimmer/edger will draw. An

undersized extension cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating.

The table below shows the correct

size extension cord to use depend-

ing on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the

next larger gauge cord. The smaller

the gauge number, the larger the cord.

To reduce the risk of disconnection

of trimmer/edger from the extension

cord during operation, use the cord

hitch described in this manual.
