• 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 wilt
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.
-& DANGER: Laceration hazard. Keep
hands away from blades. Keep both
hands on handles when power is on.
-&CAUTION:
Laceration hazard. Blades
coast after turn off.
Double insulated tools are constructed
throughout with two separate layers of
electrical insulation or one double
thickness of insulation between you and
the toot's electrical system. Tools built
with this insulation system are not
intended to be grounded. As a result,
your toot 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 toot. The insulation
system is for added protection against
injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the toot.
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 toot plug or extension cord in any way.
