BEFORE OPERATING
• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls
and proper use of the unit.
• Do not operate this unit when tired, ill or under the influ-
ence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
• Children under the age of 15 must not use the unit; teens
may operate the unit with adult guidance.
• Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts. Make
sure all fasteners are in place and secure. Replace cutting
attachment parts that are cracked, chipped or damaged in
any way. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly
installed and securely fastened. Be sure that the cutting
attachment shield is properly attached, and positioned as
recommended. Failure to do so can result in personal injury
to the operator and bystanders, as well as damage to the
unit.
• This unit was not designed to be used as a brushcutter. Do
not attach or operate this unit with any type of brushcut-
ting blade or brushcutting attachment.
WARNING:
When using the unit, you must follow
the safety rules. Please read these instructions
before operating the unit in order to ensure the
safety of the operator and any bystanders. Please
keep these instructions for later use.
• Use only a 0.065-inch (1.65 mm) diameter genuine factory
parts replacement line. Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, chain or rope. These can break off and become dan-
gerous projectiles.
• Be aware of risk of injury to the head, hands and feet.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, string and other objects which
may be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attach-
ment. Clear the area of children, bystanders and pets; keep
them outside a 50-foot (15 m.) radius, at a minimum. Even
then, they are still at risk from thrown objects. Encourage
bystanders to wear eye protection. If you are approached,
stop the unit immediately.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Since the tool is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension cord
(an extension cord without a ground) may be used. A 3-
wire extension cord (an extension cord with a ground) that
uses a NEMA type connector (parallel blade, U ground) is
recommended. Extension cords are available from your
local retailer. Use only round-jacketed extension cords
approved for outdoor use.
DANGER:
When using electric gardening appli-
ances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury. Carefully read and understand
the entire operator's manual before using your
trimmer. Pay close attention to the operating
instructions and safety warnings.
