Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
person before use. Keep extension cords away from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should comprise a
wire of at least 12 gauge 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 identical to that stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
ALTHOUGH THIS GRASS TRIMMER IS DOUBLE INSULATED, THE EXTENSION CORD AND
RECEPTACLE MUST STILL BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
