GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure tofollow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit 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 plug in any way.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not expose to rain; store indoors.
• Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
• Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A, W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A,
or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment
without proper instruction.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use
face mask if operation is dusty.
• Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating this product.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not leave appliance plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts away from openings and moving parts.
• Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in any moving parts.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves. Avoid loose garments or jewelry that could get
caught in moving parts of the machine or its motor.
• Use non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves when operating the hedge trimmer and when
installing or removing blades.
• Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight
footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on
slippery surfaces.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the power switch is not on before plugging in. Turn off power
switch before unplugging.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Do not use with damaged plug. If tool is not working as it should or has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an authorized service center.
• Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Do not operate in poor lighting.
• Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts and all hot surfaces of the unit.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free
of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails,
wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on a cord, or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorized service center to avoid risk.
• Service on the product must be performed by qualified repair personnel only. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user or damage to the product.

WARNING
USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS WHEN SERVICING THE HEDGE TRIMMER,
TO AVOID INJURY.
DOUBLE INSULATION DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF NORMAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN OPERATING THIS TOOL.
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a tool with double insulation.
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL, USE
PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER IS WIRED AT THE FACTORY
FOR 120V OPERATION. CONNECT TO A 120V, 15A CIRCUIT AND USE A 15A TIME-
DELAYED FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE IF THE POWER CORD
IS WORN, CUT OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.
DOUBLE INSULATED (See Figure 1.)
This hedge trimmer has a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 1. The hedge trimmer is
double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical
system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protective insulation.

WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF UNCERTAIN,
HAVE IT CHECKED BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
THIS HEDGE TRIMMER IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE
IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause overheating. The table below 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. Make sure your
extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
cords away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 15A time delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
ALTHOUGH THIS TOOL IS DOUBLE INSULATED, THE EXTENSION CORD AND RECEPTACLE
MUST STILL BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord that has a POLARIZED plug. The power cord MUST be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
