SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Use only those accessories and attachments that come
packed with the unit. The use of any other accessory or
attachment may create a potential hazard.
2. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing
the unit. These parts are available from your Weed
Eater dealer. Repair or replace damaged electrical
cord.
3. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the unit in
damp or wet locations.
4. Do not use in the rain.
5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
that could be caught in the moving parts of the unit. It is
recommended that the operator wear safety goggles,
rubber gloves and footwear when working outdoors.
6. Keep children away. Onlookers should be kept at a
safe distance from the work area, at least 30 feet.
7. Do not use this unit for any jobs other than those for
which it is intended.
8.
WARNING.
To prevent shock hazard, use only an ex¬
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. When selecting
an extension cord, it is recommended that a minimum
No. 16-gauge wire be used up to 100 feet and a No. 14-
gauge wire be used for distances greater than 100
feet.
9. To prevent disconnection of the unit's power cord
from the extension cord during operation, join the two
together as shown in the operation instructions.
10. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry aplugged-in
unit with your finger on the switch.
11. Do not abuse the electrical cord. Never carry the unit by
the cord or yank the cord when disconnecting it from
the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
12. Do not force the unit. It will do the job-better and safer at
the rate for which it is designed to be used.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
14. Always cut to the left side of the unit so that trimmings
and debris will be thrown away from you.
15. Inspect the area to be cut and remove all debris that
could become entangled in the cutting head. Also re¬
move any objects that the unit may sling during cutting.
16. Disconnect the unit from the power supply when not in
use, before servicing or when changing accessories,
such as the spool.
