GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES.
1. Replacement Parts: when servicing use only identical replacement parts.
2. Polarized Appliance Connections: 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 only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain the
correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the
use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
FOR ALL APPLIANCES
1. Do not use appliances in damp or wet locations as this can be dangerous.
2. Do not use in the rain.
3. Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the
work area.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can get
caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and heavy footwear is recom-
mended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
5. Use safety glasses. Always use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
6. Use the right appliance. Do not use appliance for any job except that for
which it is intended.
7. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the gardening appliance. Receptacles
with built-in GFCI protection may be used for this measure of safety.
8. Warning—to reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension
cord intended for outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
9. Extension Cord
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and 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. To
reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension cord
during use:
