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.
