2 General Safety Instructions
WARNING! Read all instructions. When using
electric hedgetrimmers, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including
the following:
a) FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED HEDGE
TRIMMERS
1) Replacement Parts
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts.
2) Polarized Appliance Connections
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other) and will require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The appliance 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.
b) FOR ALL HEDGE TRIMMERS
1) Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don't use
hedge trimmers in damp or wet locations.
2) Don't Use In Rain.

current your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
