GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS
• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - Don't use hedge trimmers in damp or wet locations.
• DON'T USE IN RAIN.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY - All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
• DRESS PROPERLY - Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of

covering to contain long hair.
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to
be used for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used

• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE - Do not use appliance for any job except that for which it is intended.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use,

• EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord be
sure it is heavy enough 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. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• MAINTAIN HEDGE TRIMMER WITH CARE - Keep cutting blades sharp and clean for best performance and
to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect extension cord periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
• 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 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. 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.
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one
double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this insulation
system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool 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 tool. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure
within the tool.
Replacement parts: When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace
damaged cords.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS
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 outdoor 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 tool plug or extension cord in any way.
SECURING POWER SUPPLY CORD
Secure the power supply cord and a suitable extension cord as shown.
