GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS
• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - Don't use hedge trimmers in damp or wet
locations.
• DON'T USE IN RAIN.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY - All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
• DRESS PROPERLY - Don't 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.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES - Also use face or dustmask if operation is dusty.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE - Do not use appliance for any job except that for which it is
intended.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock use only with an extension cord intended for
outdoor use, such as SW-A, S0W-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or
SJTOW-A.
• EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord be sure it is 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. The following table 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.

ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD TO TRIMMER
An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that prevents the tool from coming
unplugged. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord about 8 inches from the
end, and insert it into the slot in the bottom of the handle area. Hook the loop formed by
doubling the cord over the tab, as shown in Figures 1 and 1A. Gently tug on the cord to
insure that it is firmly retained in the trimmer's handle. Plug the receptacle end of the
extension cord into the plug blades in the trimmer. For Catalog No. HT2000, HT2200, after
insuring that the cord is retained in the handle, plug the receptacle end of the extension cord
into the pigtail cord in the trimmer.
TO TURN THE TOOL ON
Pull the LOCK BUTTON back with your thumb and then squeeze the TRIGGER with your
fingers as shown in Figure 2. (Once the tool is running you can release the LOCK BUTTON.)
To turn the tool OFF, release the TRIGGER.
TO LOCK THE TOOL ON FOR CONTINUOUS RUN
WITH THE TOOL RUNNING, pull the LOCK BUTTON ALL THE WAY back, release the
TRIGGER, then release the LOCK BUTTON. The tool is now locked ON. To turn the tool
OFF, squeeze and release the TRIGGER. NOTE: In order to lock the tool on, it is important
to first release the trigger and then release the lock button.
1 EXTENSION CORD – (Figures 1 and 1A) Always keep extension cord behind trimmer
and away from the trimming operation. Never drape it over a hedge being trimmed. If you
cut or damage the cord, unplug it at the electrical outlet immediately, before inspecting or
repairing cord.
2 WORKING POSITION – Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach.
Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when trimming. Hold the tool
firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in figure 3,
with one hand on the switch handle and one hand on the bail handle. Never hold the tool
by the blade guard.
3 TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - (Figure 4) – A wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade
teeth through the twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade, in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting.
CAUTION: Do not use the trimmer for cutting stems greater than 3/8" (10mm). Use the
trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings.
