GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL APPLIANCES
• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use appliances in damp or wet
locations. Don’t use appliances in the rain.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a distance from work area.
• STORE IDLE APPLIANCES INDOORS. When not in use, appliances should be
stored indoors in dry, and high or locked-up place – out of reach of children.
• DON’T FORCE APPLIANCE. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a
risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE. Do not use the appliance for any job except that for
which it is intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and substantial, non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields, complying with applicable safety standards and,
when needed, a face shield. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. This
applies to all persons in the work area. Also use a hard hat, hearing protection,
gloves, safety shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required. Safety
glasses or the like are available at extra cost at your local dealer or Black & Decker
Service Center.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN APPLIANCE WITH CARE. Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically and if damaged, have it
repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT APPLIANCES. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades
and the like.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged-in appliance with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should be provided on
the circuits or outlets to be used for the gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of
safety.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
appliance when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the appliance, 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 conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• USE OF ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS. The use of any accessory or
attachment not recommended for use with this appliance could be hazardous.
Note: Refer to the accessory section of this manual for further details.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one 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 table below shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. To reduce
the risk of disconnection of the appliance from the extension cord during
operation, use the extension cord retainer described in this manual.
WARNING: OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
• REPAIRS AND SERVICE. Repairs, maintenance and any adjustments not specified
in this manual should be performed by Black & Decker authorized service centers
or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS FOR STRING TRIMMER
1. Use the proper size and type of cutting line. Do not use metal wire, rope or
the like. Do not use cutting line heavier than that recommended by the
manufacturer. See the accessory section of this manual for more detailed
information about the proper cutting line to use.
2. Keep the cutting line trimmed to the proper length (done automatically by the
appliance). Make sure that the guard is firmly in place, in working order and
positioned between yourself and the cutting line.
3. Wear long pants and substantial footwear to protect yourself from injury
caused by flying debris. This is especially important when edging with the
appliance.
