[] Risk of Cut. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach

is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Make sure trimmer is off and power cord
is unplugged when clearing jammed materials from blades.
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges
when picking up or holding the hedge trimmer.
WARNING: Blade coasts after being turned off.
Keep all body parts clear of blades to avoid serious injury.
[] To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)
and will require the use of a polarized extension cord.
The 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 a 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.
[] Do not abuse the cord -- Never use the cord to carry
the product or to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
[] Extension Cord -- Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least
16 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet 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.
A
WARNING:To reduce the risk of electric shock. Use
outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are
rated for outdoor use.
[] Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFC() protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for
this measure of safety.
[] Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil or
grease.
