If the unit starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor, disconnect the unit from the power source
and allow the unit to cool. Then inspect the unit for the cause of the vibration. Vibration is generally
an indicator of trouble.
Use only original manufacturer replacement parts and accessories, which are designed
specifi cally to enhance the performance and maximize the safe operation of the product. Failure
to do so may cause poor performance and possible injury.
Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
When not in use, store the unit indoors in a locked-up and dry, or high and dry, place to prevent
unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the reach of children.
To avoid serious personal injury and/or damage to the unit, keep the unit clean of vegetation and
other materials that may clog, gum or bind moving parts. Keep the handles dry, clean and free from
debris, oil and grease. Clean the unit after each use.
Never douse or spray the unit with water or any other liquid. Do not wash the unit with a hose; avoid
getting water in the motor and electrical connections. Do not use solvents or strong detergents.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DO NOT handle the unit, plug(s) or cord(s) with wet hands.
DO NOT expose the unit to rain. Do not use the unit in damp or wet locations or conditions.
DO NOT operate the unit on wet surfaces.
DO NOT abuse the extension cord or the power cord on the unit. Never pull or carry the unit by
the cord(s), use the cord(s) as a handle, close a door on a cord, pull the cord(s) around sharp
edges or corners or yank the cord(s) to disconnect the unit. Grasp the plug(s), not the cord(s), to
disconnect the unit.
DO NOT modify the power cord, extension cord, power cord plug, extension cord plug or wall
outlet in any way.
DO NOT use multiple extension cords.
Keep the cords away from oil, water, sharp objects and heated surfaces.
Keep the cords away from the cutting area and position the cords so that they will not be caught
on branches or other obstacles that may bind or entangle the cords during operation.
Keep the cords away from the operator's feet to prevent tripping.
Make sure the cords are in good condition. Inspect the power cord and extension cord
periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. If the power cord is
damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service center. If the extension cord is damaged,
replace it. Do not use a damaged cord or plug.
If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the extension cord
from the receptacle.
Since the unit is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension cord (one without a ground) may be used.
However, a 3-wire extension cord (one with a ground) that uses a NEMA-type connector (parallel
blade, U ground) is recommended. Extension cords are available from local retailers. Use only
round-jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current drawn by the unit. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, only use extension cords
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A or SJTOW-A cord types.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The power cord plug will fi t into
a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fi t, obtain another polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fi t into the polarized wall
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician to install the proper wall outlet.
A nameplate on your unit indicates the voltage used. Never connect the unit to an AC voltage that
differs from this voltage.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)
that will be used with the unit. For an extra measure of safety, use receptacles with built-in GFCI
protection.
To reduce the likelihood of disconnecting the extension cord from the unit, be sure to use the cord
restraint provided.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with grounded conductors, such as metal
pipes or wire fences.
Unplug the unit from the power source when not in use.
Servicing a Double-Insulated Unit
This is a double-insulated unit. Two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
There is no grounding provided and no means of grounding should be added to the unit. Servicing
a double-insulated unit requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should only
be done by qualifi ed service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated unit must
be identical to the parts they replace. Failure to have a double-insulated unit repaired by an
authorized service technician with identical replacement parts could result in serious injury.
TRIMMER SAFETY
The cutting head shield must always be in place while operating the unit. Do not operate the unit
without both trimming lines extended and the proper line installed. Do not extend the trimming line
beyond the length of the shield.
Adjust the position of the D-handle to provide the best grip.
Be sure the cutting head is not in contact with anything before starting the unit
Use only 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter replacement line. Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,
chain or rope. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.
