Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and
proper use of the unit. Know how to stop the unit and disengage
the controls quickly.
•
Do not operate this unit when tired, ill or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
•
Never allow children to operate the unit. Never allow adults to
operate the unit without proper instruction.
•
All guards and safety attachments must be installed properly

rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, string and other objects that
may be thrown or become entangled with the unit.
•
Clear the area of children, bystanders and pets; keep them

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC UNITS
•
Do not expose the unit to rain or wet conditions.
•
Do not handle the unit, cords, or plugs with wet hands.
•
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the unit in the
rain, in wet conditions or on wet surfaces. Moisture is a shock
hazard.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with
grounded conductors, such as metal pipes or wire fences.
•
Do not operate the unit in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
•
A nameplate on the unit indicates the voltage used. Never
connect the unit to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
•
Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use
only extension cords approved for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-
A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A. Extension
cords are available from your local retailer. Use only round-
jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
•
Do not use multiple extension cords.
•
Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current
drawn by the unit. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and overheating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

•
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 a cord is
damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the cord
from both the outlet and the unit. Do not use a damaged cord.
Damaged cords should be replaced or repaired by an authorized
service dealer.
•
Do not abuse cords. Never pull or carry the unit by a cord. Keep
cords away from heat, oil, water, sharp edges, and moving
objects. Always grasp the plug when disconnecting a cord.
•
Never modify a plug, cord or outlet in any way.
•
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used with this unit.
For an extra measure of safety, use receptacles with built-in
GFCI protection.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) with a tripping
current of 30 mA or less.
•
Keep cords away from the operating area. Position cords so that
they will not be caught or entangled on branches or other
obstacles during operation.
•
To prevent tripping, keep cords away from the operator's feet.
•
Always disconnect the unit from the power source when it is not
in use.
•
Prevent disconnection of the power cord from the extension
cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle retaining strap,
connector, or by making a knot (Fig. A).
