NOTE: Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety rules.
Your Edger has a precision built electric motor and it should only be connected

DO NOT operate this Edger on direct current (DC). The large voltage drop would cause
a loss of power and the motor would overheat.
If the Edger does not operate when plugged into correct 120-volt, 60 Hz AC ONLY outlet,
check the power supply. The Edger comes with an electric plug and should be plugged into
a proper extension cord.
