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.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING - Don't carry plugged in hedge trimmer with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD - Never carry hedge trimmer by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
DANGER: Risk of cut. Keep hands away from blades. Keep both hands on handles when
power is on.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure trimmer switch is off when clearing jammed material from blades. Do
not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the
hedge trimmer.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• DON'T OVERREACH - Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place- out of reach of children.
• MAINTAIN HEDGE TRIMMER WITH CARE - Keep cutting blades sharp and clean for
best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect extension cord periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS - before further use of the hedge trimmer, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.

WNER your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords
without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting
from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT
PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire
extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the
receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does
not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable
extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
WARNING: Some dust created by this product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of

ATTACHING BAIL HANDLE TO TRIMMER
WARNING: Do not operate the hedge trimmer without the bail handle attached.
The trimmer is shipped with the bail handle tied to the trimmer. To attach the bail handle:
• Cut the ziptie which holds the handle to the trimmer.
• Remove the phillips head screws from both sides of the trimmer housing.
• Position the handle in place as shown in figure 1.
• Reinsert the phillips head screws into the openings on the side of the handle and tighten

ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD TO TRIMMER
An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that helps prevent the tool from
coming unplugged. To use this feature, first overlap the pigtail cord with the extension cord
and tie the two cords in a knot as shown in figure 2. Then, double the extension cord
several inches from the end, and hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over the post in
the opening in the back of the handle area as shown in figure 2A. Gently tug on the cord to
insure that it is firmly retained in the trimmer's handle.
