Before any use, be sure everyone using this tool reads and
understands all safety instructions and other information contained
in this manual.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.
DON'T ABUSE CORD – Never carry the string trimmer by the cord
or yank the cord in order to disconnect from the receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY - All visitors, children and pets should stay
at a safe distance from the work area.
DRESS PROPERLY – Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair. They can be caught
in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
USE SAFETY GLASSES –Wear safety glasses with side shields or
goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when
operating this product. Use face or dust mask if environment is dusty.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
string trimmer. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used.
USE RIGHT APPLIANCE – Do not use an appliance for any job
except that for which it is intended.
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord be sure it is heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

It is possible to tie the extension cord and power
cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming
disconnected during use. Make the knot as
shown, then connect the plug end of the power
cord into the receptacle end of the extension
cord. This method can also be used to tie two
extension cords together.
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.
POLARIZED PLUGS – To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3
wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one
way. Make sure that the receptacle 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. If the extension cord does not fit fully into
the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
WARNING: Do Not use the string trimmer with any type of
accessory or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.

Save these instructions and review frequently prior to use and in
instructing others.
WARNING: When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DOUBLE INSULATION – Double Insulation is a concept in safety in
electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
NOTE: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from
shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal insulation. Observe all
normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
DISCONNECT STRING TRIMMER from the power supply when not in
use or when servicing or cleaning. Do not leave unattended.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS – Don't use trimmer in rain,
damp or wet locations. Do not operate trimmer in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks
might ignite fumes.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING – Don't carry plugged in string
trimmer with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
DANGER: Risk of cut. Keep hands away from the line. Keep both
hands on handles when power is on.
DO NOT ATTEMPT to remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when lines are moving. Make sure trimmer switch is off when clearing
jammed material from guard. Do not grasp the guard or lines when
picking up or holding the trimmer.
CAUTION: Lines coast after turn off.
DON'T FORCE TRIMMER – It will do the job better and with less
likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
STAY ALERT – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate string trimmer when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
STORE IDLE STRING TRIMMER INDOORS – When not in use,
the string trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry and high or
locked-up place, out of reach of children.
MAINTAIN TRIMMER 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 DAMAGED PARTS – Before further use of the trimmer, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully 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.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced. Call our customer service help line at 1-800-633-1501 for
assistance.
LIGHTING - Only operate trimmer in daylight or good artificial light.
DON'T OVERREACH – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
