 Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
 Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all foreign objects.

comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
 Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves
when working outdoors. Do not wear loose fitting clothing
that could be caught in moving parts, short pants, or go
barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind. Use of rubber
gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when

under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
 Do not operate in poor lighting.

 Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance or exposure
to hot surfaces.
 Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
Do not touch or try to stop cutting blades when they are
moving.
 Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, etc.
Replace any damaged parts before use.
 When not in use, product should be stored indoors in a
dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts. Failure
to do so may cause poor performance, possible injury,
and will void your warranty.
 Do not, under any circumstance, use any attachment or
accessory on this product which was not provided with
the product or identified as appropriate for use with this
product in the operator's manual.
 Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the product in
damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain. Do not handle
or operate the unit with wet hands.
 Use the right appliance. Do not use the shrubber for any
job except that for which it is intended.
 Do not use on steps, a ladder, or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
 Do not force the shrubber. It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which
it was designed.
 DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area.
 Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath
work or around or over the blade while blade is rotating. Do
not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.
Make sure shrubber is off, blades have stopped moving,
and padlock (not included) or lock-out pin is installed when
clearing jammed materials from blades. Do not grasp the
exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up
or holding the shrubber.
 CAUTION! Blade coasts after being turned off.
 WARNING! Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOWA.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
shrubber. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
 Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil or
grease.
 Do not charge in rain or in wet locations.
 Always stop the motor, ensure the blades have stopped,
and lock switch when not in use by installing padlock
(not included) or lock-out pin, before attempting to clean
any obstruction caught or jammed in the blade, or before
removing and installing the blade.
