waRNING! Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemical:
• Work in a well ventilated area;
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
waRNING! when using electric
gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions must always be followed to

reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and serious injury, including the
following:
REad all INSTRuCTIoNS
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
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
2-in-1 Grass Trimmer/Edger
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.
2. FoR all aPPlIaNCES
a) avoid dangerous environment. Don't
use appliances in damp or wet locations.
b) don't use in rain.
c) keep children away. All visitors should
be kept at a distance from work area.
d) dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. They can be caught
in moving parts. Use of gloves and
substantial footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
e) use safety glasses. Always use eye
protection plus a 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 this
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 gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. To reduce
