When using electric garden tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
1. When servicing use only approved replacement parts.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug
will fit into a polarized extension cord one way only. If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized
extension cord. Do not change the plug on the product in any way. Tampering and/or
modification of the plug will void manufacturer warranty for the product.
3. Avoid dangerous environment.
• Do not use appliances in damp or wet locations.
• Do not use in the rain.
5. Keep away from Children
6. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry while operating product. They can be caught in moving
parts. Use of work gloves and appropriate footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
7. Use safety gear: eye/face protection, dust mask, and ear protection should be worn while
operating this product.
8. Connect product to sockets with integrated ground fault circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
9. Warning: to reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension cord intended for
outdoor use, such as an extension cord of type SJTW.
10. Extension cord: make sure your extension cord is in good condition when using an
extension cord, be sure to use one of sufficient gauge to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
11. Avoid unintentional starting: Don't carry plugged-in appliance with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
12. Do not abuse cord: never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
13. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the
appliance.
14. Do not force appliance: it will do the job better with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the
rate for which it was designed.
15. Don't overreach: maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
16. Stay alert: watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate appliance when
you are tired.
17. Disconnect Appliance: disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in use,
before servicing, when changing accessories such as blades and the like.
18. Store idle appliances indoors: when not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry
and high or locked-up place-out of reach of children.
19. Maintain appliance with care: keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance and
to reduce the risk of injury. 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.

20. Check Damaged Parts: Before further use of the appliance, guards or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will 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. Guards

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SERVlClNG OF DOUBLE-lNSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
Proper servicing of double-insulated appliance(s) requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug(one blade is wider than
the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Work area
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can result in
injury to operators or bystanders.
3

Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed(grounded)power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury to yourself or others.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
