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
WARNING: This product maybe
contains lead, phthalate or other
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm. Please
wash your hands after use.
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
8
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 1
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors
described in this manual.
j) Avoid unintentional starting. Don't
carry plugged-in appliance with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
k) Don't abuse cord. Never carry
appliance by cord or yank it to
