• Do not force the edger. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of
injury at rate for which it was designed.
• Maintain the edger with care. Keep the sharp cutting edge clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow the instruction for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect the edger cord periodically and, if damaged,
have it repaired by an authorized service technician. Inspect the extension cords
periodically and replace it if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
• Check damaged parts. Check the alignment and the binding of moving parts, the
overall condition of the tool. A defective tool or one with a guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.
• Use the right appliance. Do not use edger for any job except that for which it is intended.
• CUse the appropriate extension cord. Make sureyour extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your prod-uct will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended
for an extension cord 50' (15 m) or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Be sure all guards are properly and securely attached. Never use a tool without its
guard.
• Replace dull or worn blade; do not attempt to sharpen. Failure to heed this warning
could result in excessive vibration causing serious personal injury or property damage.
•
Use this edger for edging along sidewalks, driveways, and flower beds. Do not use for any
other purpose.
• Do not use the edger on or near graveled surfaces.
• If the edger strikes any type of foreign object: a) Stop the edger and disconnect from the
power supply. b) Inspect for damage to the edger blade and guard. c) Correct damage before
using the edger attachment. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
• Make yourself familiar with the area you are edging. Be aware of uneven sidewalks and
holes in the terrain as well as other similar hazardous conditions (example: wire or wire
rope which can break off and become a dangerous projectile). Always push the edger
attachment slowly over rough ground.
• Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the area of
operation. Use care in directing discharge to avoid glass enclosures, automobiles, and the
like.
• Always stop the motor and disconnect from power supply before attempting to remove
any obstruction caught or jammed in the blade, installing attachment, or making any
adjustments.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow excessive grass, leaves, or grease to accumulate
on the product.
