Safety Instructions
All Operators Must Read These
Instructions Before Use
Before using this electric tool, carefully read and observe the
safety rules and instructions listed below. Before starting work,
make sure that you know how to stop the machine in case of
an emergency. The incorrect use of this machine could cause
serious injury. Keep these instructions in a safe place and on
hand so that they can be consulted when required.
mDANGER! The electric grass trimmer + edger should
only be used for cutting lawns and for trimming along the
borders of ower beds. Other uses of the trimmer + edger that
are not indicated in these instructions could damage the unit
or seriously injure the operator.
General Safety
1. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use appliances
in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.
2. Keep children and bystanders away – Children and
other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least
50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the
grass is cut, stones and debris contained in the grass can
be picked up by the trimmer + edger and dispersed into
the air. These ying projectiles can cause blindness or
other bodily injury.
3. Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing when
using the trimmer + edger to prevent head, hand, or feet
injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can
get caught in moving parts.
4. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,
snug-tting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and
head protection.
5. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job except
that for which they are intended.
6. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry plugged-in
tool with nger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is o
before plugging in the tool.
7. Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the tool by the cord
or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
8. Do not force the tool – It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it
was designed.
9. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
10. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the trimmer + edger when you are
tired, or under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
11. Disconnect the tool – Turn the trimmer + edger o and
disconnect the plug when: the unit is not in use; it is left
unattended; it is being examined because it is not working
correctly; the power supply cable is damaged; the blade is
being removed or changed; or when the trimmer is being
moved from one place to another.
12. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should
be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out
of the reach of children.
13. Maintain tools with care – Keep cutting edges sharp
and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk
of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect the trimmer + edger periodically and
replace if damaged. Repair the trimmer + edger only at an
authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
14. Checked for damaged parts – Before continuing to
use the trimmer + edger, 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 the alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
condition that may aect the tool’s operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.
mCAUTION! The safety guard is critical to the safety of
the operator and the safety of people standing within a safe
distance of the trimmer + edger. The safety guard keeps the
unit in good working order and must always be in place during
operation. Failure to have the guard in place during operation
is dangerous and will void the warranty.
15. Keep away from the cutting line – It can seriously injure
the skin.
16. Do not try to stop the cutting device with your hands –
Always let it come to a stop by itself.

2
17. Inspect electrical cables – The insulation of the power
cord should be perfectly intact. If the power cord is
damaged or shows any signs of cracks, do not use the
trimmer. Contact your authorized Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®
dealer or call the Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®customer service
center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
mCAUTION! The trimmer line spool will continue to rotate
after turning the trimmer OFF. Wait until the trimmer line spool
has completely stopped before making contact.
• Only use the same type of line originally provided with
the tool.
• Do not use the unit to cut grass that is not in contact with
the ground.
• Do not switch the string trimmer + edger ON in enclosed or
poorly ventilated spaces or in the presence of ammable
and/or explosive substances such as liquids, gases, and
powders.
• The user of the trimmer + edger is responsible for any
damage sustained by third parties that has been caused by
the grass trimmer within the working area.
• Only cut during broad daylight or with adequate
articial light.
• Do not cross roads or gravel paths while the unit is
still running.
• When the trimmer + edger is not in use, store it in a dry
place and out of the reach of children.
• The trimmer + edger must be operated in a vertical position,
perpendicular to the ground.
• Check regularly that all screws are properly secured.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric grass trimmer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. Make sure that the mains voltage matches that listed on
the unit's rating label. Using the improper voltage can
damage the motor and injure the user.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL-
listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use.
The appliance plug will t into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the appliance plug does not t fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. The extension cord plug will t into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
t, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
4. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
5. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
mWARNING m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric grass trimmer
+ edger to make contact with water while it is in
operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned
o, wipe dry before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use.
• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
oers some protection.

the unit.
• Only use an extension cable that is rated for outdoor use.
Keep the extension cord away from the cutting area, sharp
edges, heat, fuels, damp areas, and oily surfaces.
• Damage to unit – If the trimmer + edger strikes a foreign
object or becomes entangled with it, stop the tool
immediately. Unplug it, check for damage, and have any
damage repaired before proceeding with operation. Do
not operate the tool with a broken hub or spool. Contact
your authorized Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®dealer or call
the Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®customer service center at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
• Damage to cord – Keep power cord away from the rotating
line. If you damage the cord, unplug it from the power
supply before moving the tool or examining the damage.
A damaged cord must be replaced before further use.
• Do not operate portable electric tools in gaseous or
explosive atmospheres – Motors in these tools normally
spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Maintain appliances with care – Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system, and should be performed only by qualied
service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®
dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance
must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated
appliance is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or
“Double Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This electric grass trimmer + edger is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use
only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions before
servicing double-insulated appliances. Use this grass trimmer
+ edger only as described in this manual.

Trimming
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• For the best cutting action against walls, fences, and in high
grass, move the grass trimmer slowly so grass is cut with
the tip of the high speed nylon line.
• Avoid dragging the grass trimmer and string spool hub in
contact with the ground.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
NOTE: As the weather becomes cooler, the tendency for the
nylon line to break becomes greater. DO NOT USE WHEN
TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50ºF (10ºC).
• Cut tall grass from top down. This will prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which
may cause damage from overheating.
• If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
–Stop the trimmer.
– Unplug the string trimmer.
– Remove the grass.
• Hold the grass trimmer with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front auxiliary handle.
The trimmer + edger should be held at a comfortable
position with the rear handle about hip height.
mWARNING! Always hold the trimmer away from
body. Any contact with the grass trimmer cutting head while
operating can result in serious personal injury.
• The life of your nylon line is dependent upon following
instructions for proper use, as well as what is being cut,
and where the cutting is being done.
mWARNING! Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, and
other objects from the cutting area. The string continues to
rotate for a few seconds after switching o the trimmer. Let the
motor come to a complete stop before resuming operation.
Do not rapidly switch the trimmer o and on.
mCAUTION! Always wear eye protection.

1. Hold the trimmer at an angle of approximately 10 – 30
degrees to the work area (Fig. 16).
2. Slowly swing the trimmer from side to side (Fig. 17).
3. Do not overload your trimmer; instead, take small “bites”
of grass, working from the top to the bottom. This will
keep the machine operating at high speed and will greatly
improve its cutting eciency (Fig. 18).
Edging
1. To convert for maintenance edging, turn OFF and unplug
the tool.
2. To use the edger guide + ower guard, ip it down from its
stored position (Fig. 19).
3. Pull up edging coupler and turn the rear handle
counterclockwise and release (Fig. 20). The tool is locked

4. Rotate the whole unit 180 degrees. The tool is now ready
to be used in edger mode (Fig. 21).
5. Use the edge of the guard as a guide when cutting near
fences and walls (Fig. 22).
6. Move the edger in a backwards direction when trimming
around edges to avoid damage.
mWARNING! Do not trim near electrical wires.
Advancing Strings
NOTE: Your trimmer uses 0.063 in. (1.6 mm) diameter nylon
line to cut grass and weed quickly and easily. In time, the
tip of the nylon line will become worn and the auto-feed
mechanism will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of
line. The cutting line will wear faster if the cutting is done along
sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are
being cut.
The trimmer + edger is equipped with an auto-feed head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the string will damage
trimmer.
1. With the unit running, release the ON/OFF switch trigger.
2. Wait two seconds, and press the ON/OFF switch trigger.
NOTE: The strings will extend approximately 1/4 in. with each
stop and start of the switch trigger until the strings reach the
length of the safety guard.
3. Resume the trimming + edging.
mWARNING! Do not operate the grass trimmer + edger
in a tree, on a ladder, or on a scaold; this is extremely
dangerous.
mWARNING! Do not bump the unit on ground in attempt
to feed line or for any other purpose.
Maintenance
mWARNING! Make sure to unplug your electric grass
trimmer + edger before inspecting its parts.
mWARNING! Always wear protective gloves during
maintenance tasks. Do not carry out maintenance when the
motor is running or hot.
• Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your line in
top condition, store spare pre-wound spools or bulk line in
a plastic resealable bag with a tablespoon of water.
• Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your grass
trimmer + edger. Wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
• Plastic parts may be cleaned by using mild soap and a
damp rag.
• Always store your grass trimmer + edger in a dry place.
Do not allow any liquid to get inside it.

Antes de utilizar esta herramienta eléctrica, lea
cuidadosamente y siga las normas de seguridad e
instrucciones enumeradas a continuación. Antes de empezar
a trabajar, asegúrese de que usted sepa cómo detener la
máquina en caso de emergencia. El uso incorrecto de esta
máquina puede causar serias lesiones. Mantenga estas
instrucciones en un lugar seguro y a mano para que puedan
ser consultadas cuando sea necesario.
m¡PELIGRO! La podadora + bordeadora eléctrica
debe ser usada solamente para cortar jardines y a lo largo
de los bordes de los canteros. Otros usos de la podadora +
bordeadora, que no estén en estas instrucciones, pueden
dañar la unidad o lesionar severamente al operador.
Seguridad general

en lugares húmedos o mojados. No la use bajo la lluvia.
2. Mantenga alejados a los espectadores y niños: los
niños y otros espectadores, incluyendo mascotas,
deberán mantenerse alejados a unos 50 pies (15 metros)
del área de trabajo. Cuando el césped es cortado, las
piedras y escombros contenidos en el césped pueden
ser recogidos por la podadora + bordeadora y ser
dispersados en el aire. Estos proyectiles voladores
pueden causar ceguera u otras lesiones corporales.
3.
Vístase apropiadamente: utilice siempre ropa adecuada al
operar la podadora + bordeadora con el n de evitar lesiones
a la cabeza, manos o pies. No utilice prendas holgadas ni
joyería. Pueden engancharse en las partes móviles.

ropa que se ajuste a su cuerpo, guantes protectores y
protección auditiva y para la cabeza.
5. Utilice las herramientas apropiadas: no use esta
herramienta para ningún otro trabajo excepto para el cual
haya sido diseñada.
6. Evite el encendido involuntario: no lleve la herramienta
enchufada con su dedo sobre el interruptor. Asegúrese de
que el interruptor esté en la posición de apagado antes de
enchufar la herramienta.
7. No abuse del cable: nunca jale la herramienta por el
cable ni tire bruscamente de él para desenchufar la
herramienta del tomacorriente. Mantenga el cable alejado
del calor, aceite y bordes losos.
8. No fuerce la herramienta: hará el trabajo mejor y con
menos posibilidades de lesiones de ser usada a la
velocidad para la cual fue diseñada.
9. No se sobreextienda: mantenga con sus pies balance y
posición adecuados durante todo el tiempo.
10. Manténgase alerta: vea lo que está haciendo. Utilice
su sentido común. No opere la podadora + bordeadora
si usted está cansado o bajo la inuencia del alcohol o
las drogas.
11. Desconecte la herramienta: apague la podadora +
bordeadora y desenchúfela cuando: la podadora +
bordeadora no esté siendo usada, ha sido dejada sin
atender, esté siendo examinada porque no funciona
apropiadamente, su cable de alimentación está dañado;
la cuchilla esté siendo retirada o cambiada, o cuando la
podadora + bordeadora esté siendo transportada de un
lugar a otro.
12. Guarde las herramientas inactivas en interiores:
cuando no estén en uso, las herramientas deben
almacenarse bajo techo en un lugar seco, alto o bajo
llave, fuera del alcance de los niños.
13. Cuide las herramientas: mantenga los bordes cortantes
alados y limpios para un mejor funcionamiento y para
reducir el riesgo de lesiones. Siga las instrucciones para
la lubricación y cambio de accesorios. Inspeccione la
podadora + bordeadora periódicamente y reemplácela
si está dañada. Haga reparar la podadora + bordeadora
únicamente en un centro de servicio autorizado.
Mantenga los mangos secos, limpios y sin aceite o grasa.
14. Verique las partes dañadas: antes de seguir utilizando
la podadora + bordeadora, cualquier protector u otra parte
que esté dañada debe ser examinada cuidadosamente
para determinar si funcionará correctamente o no.

junturas de las partes móviles y las monturas, y revise
si hay roturas en las partes o cualquier otra condición
que pueda afectar el funcionamiento de la herramienta.
Un protector u otra parte que se encuentren dañados
deberán ser reparados correctamente o reemplazados en
un centro de servicio autorizado a menos que se indique

m¡PRECAUCIÓN! El protector es esencial para la
seguridad del operador y de las personas próximas a la
podadora + bordeadora. El protector mantiene a la unidad en
buen estado de funcionamiento y debe estar siempre en su
lugar durante la operación. No tener al protector en su lugar
durante la operación es peligroso e invalidará la garantía.
15. Tenga cuidado con la línea cortadora: puede lesionar
severamente su piel.
16. No trate de detener el dispositivo de corte con sus
manos: siempre deje que se detenga por sí mismo.
17. Inspeccione los cables eléctricos: el aislamiento del
cable de alimentación debe estar perfectamente intacto.
Si el cable de alimentación está dañado o hay señales de
desgaste, no use la podadora + bordeadora. Contacte
a un concesionario autorizado Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®o
a la central de servicio al cliente Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®
llamando al 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
m¡PRECAUCIÓN! La bobina de la línea cortadora
continuará girando después de haber APAGADO la podadora
+ bordeadora. Espere a que la bobina de la línea cortadora se
haya detenido por completo antes de hacer contacto.
• Utilice solamente el tipo de línea suministrada originalmente
junto con la herramienta.
• No utilice la unidad para cortar césped que no esté en
contacto con el suelo.
• No encienda la podadora + bordeadora eléctrica en
espacios cerrados o de poca ventilación o en presencia de
sustancias inamables y/o explosivas tales como líquidos,
gas, y pólvora.
•
El usuario de la podadora + bordeadora es responsable de
cualquier daño sufrido por terceros y que haya sido causado

• Corte solamente a plena luz del día o con luz articial
adecuada.
• No cruce caminos o sendas de grava con la unidad aún

• Cuando la podadora + bordeadora no esté siendo utilizada,

Seguridad eléctrica
1. Un interruptor de circuito de falla de conexión a
tierra (GFCI) deberá proteger al(a los) circuito(s) o
tomacorriente(s) a ser utilizado(s) para esta podadora +
bordeadora. Hay receptáculos disponibles con protección
incorporada GFCI y pueden ser utilizados para esta
medida de seguridad.
2. Asegúrese de que el voltaje de la red concuerde con el
que aparece impreso en la etiqueta de características del
producto. Usar la máquina con un voltaje incorrecto de
tomacorriente puede dañar el motor y lesionar al usuario.
3. Para reducir el riesgo de un choque eléctrico, este
artefacto posee un enchufe polarizado (una pata es más
ancha que la otra). Use este artefacto solo con un cable
de extensión polarizado aprobado por UL, CSA o ETL
recomendado para uso en exteriores y todo tipo de clima.
El enchufe del artefacto encajará en el receptáculo del
cable de extensión polarizado solo de una manera. Si el
enchufe del artefacto no entra por completo dentro del
receptáculo del cable de extensión, invierta las clavijas
del enchufe. Si el enchufe aún no encaja de este modo,
obtenga un cable de extensión polarizado correcto. Un
cable de extensión polarizado requerirá el uso de un
tomacorriente polarizado. El enchufe del cable de extensión
encajará en el tomacorriente polarizado de la pared solo de
una manera. Si el enchufe no entra por completo dentro del
tomacorriente de la pared, invierta las clavijas del enchufe.
Si el enchufe aún no encaja de este modo, contacte a un
electricista calicado para la instalación del tomacorriente
de pared apropiado. No modique el enchufe del artefacto,
ni el receptáculo del cable de extensión ni el enchufe del
cable de extensión en forma alguna.
4. Para evitar un choque eléctrico, use solo cables de
extensión adecuados para uso en exteriores, tales como
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A ó SJTOW-A.
Antes del uso, verique que el cable de extensión esté en
buenas condiciones. Al usar un cable de extensión, asegúrese
de que sea lo sucientemente fuerte para poder transportar
toda la electricidad que su equipo consumirá. Un cable de
extensión demasiado no causará una caída de tensión en la
línea, produciendo pérdida de potencia y recalentamiento.
Un choque eléctrico puede causar LESIONES
SEVERAS o LA MUERTE. Tenga en cuenta estas
advertencias:
• No deje que ninguna parte de la podadora +
bordeadora eléctrica haga contacto con agua
mientras esté funcionando. Si la podadora +
bordeadora se moja mientras está apagada, séquela
antes de encenderlo.
• Use solo un cable de extensión aprobado por UL,
CSA o ETL y recomendado para uso en exteriores
y todo tipo de clima.
• No use un cable de extensión de más de 100 pies
(30 m).
• No toque el artefacto o su enchufe con las manos
húmedas, o mientras esté parado sobre agua. Usar
botas de hule le dará algo de protección.
