SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC POWERHEADS AND 4-IN-1
GARDEN ATTACHMENTS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use only extension cords approved for outdoor use,
such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or
SJTOW-A. Extension cords are available from your local
retailer. Use only round-jacketed extension cords
approved for outdoor use.
• CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good condition.
When using a cord set, be sure to use a cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current that your unit will draw. An
undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. See the operator's manual for the
unit that will power this add-on for the recommended cord size.
• Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection
periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the
insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage. Replace the
cords if any defects or damage appear.
• Prevent disconnection of the electric powerhead from extension
cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle retaining strap,
connector, or by making a knot as shown below:

DANGER:
RISK OF CUT OR SHOCK — Keep hands
away from tools. Keep one hand on assist handle on
the powerhead and on the loop handle of attachment
when power is on. Do not attempt to remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when tools are
moving. Make sure the switch on the power unit is off
when clearing jammed material from tools. Do not
grasp the exposed tools. Wear gloves when handling
the tool. Do not operate unit with one hand.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate your unit in damp
or wet conditions. Moisture is a shock hazard.
