only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change or alter the plug in any way.

A CAUTION: This trimmer has a 12-in. Pigtail Power Cord that
must be plugged into a proper extension cord (see page 7).
/k WARNING: Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of
normal safety precautions when operating this tool.
3. BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is
within the voltage marked on the tool's data plate, DO NOT use "AC only"
rated tools with a DC power supply,
4. DO NOT expose tools to rain or wet conditions or use electric tools
in wet or damp locations. Water entering an electric tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
5. If operating an electric tool in damp locations is unavoidable,
ALWAYS USE a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to
your tool. ALWAYS WEAR electrician's rubber gloves and footwear
in damp conditions.
6. When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension
cord marked "W-A" or "W". these cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
7. INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at
a Sears Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord
location and keep it well away from the spinning cutting lines.
8. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or
to pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edge or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
