operating this product.

• USE HEARING PROTECTION – Wear ear plugs or muffs

when operating this product.

• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER – (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)

to be used for this product if you are using an extension

cord. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI

protection and may be used.

• DOUBLE INSULATION – This product has double insula-

tion. This means that all external metal parts are insulated

from the electrical supply. This is achieved by introducing

an insulation layer between electrical and mechanical

parts. The double insulation guarantees you the greatest

possible safety.

• EXTENSION CORD – Make sure your extension cord is

in good condition. Use only extension cords having an

electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. An

undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating.

• POLARIZED PLUGS – To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This product must be used with a

suitable polarized extension cord. Polarized connections

will fit together only one way. Make sure that the recep-

tacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade

slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension

cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a

suitable extension cord. Do not change the tool plug or

extension cord in any way.

WARNING:

Use outdoor extension cords

marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,

SJTW-A, or SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor

use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

• DISCONNECT UNIT from the power supply when not in

use or when servicing or cleaning. Do not leave unat-

tended.

• DON'T ABUSE CORD – Never carry or pull this product

by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect from the

receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• STAY ALERT – Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate the garden shredder when you are

tired or under the influence of drugs or medication.

• STORE IDLE UNIT INDOORS – When not in use, the

machine should be stored indoors in a dry and high or

locked-up place, out of children's reach.

• MAINTAIN UNIT WITH CARE – Keep clean for best

performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect

extension cord periodically and replace if damaged. Keep

handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS – Before further use of

the product, any part that is damaged should be care-

fully checked to determine that it will operate properly

and perform its intended function. Check for alignment

of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect

its operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced. Call our customer service help line

• LIGHTING – Only operate your machine in daylight or

good artificial light.

• DON'T OVERREACH – Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. Wear oil resistant rubbersoled footwear.

OFF and wait until it comes to a complete stop before

leaving the work area.
