entangled in or thrown by the trimmer.
24. NYLON CUTTING LINE Keep face, hands and feet clear of rotating nylon line at all times.

27. MAKE SURE that other persons and pets are at least 100 feet away.
IMPORTANT WARNING:
When this tool is being used as a trimmer or edger, stones and other objects can
be thrown out at high speed by the line. The tool and guard are designed to help
reduce the danger. However, the following special precautions should be taken.
TO REDUCE THE RISK of rebound or ricochet injury, always work away from any
solid objects such as walls, steps, large stones, landscape bricks, timbers, trees, etc.
Use extreme care when working close to solid objects and when necessary edge
or trim by hand.
1. Do not use the battery charging stand outdoors or expose to wet or damp
conditions. Water entering charging stand will increase the risk of electric shock.
2. Use of an attachment with this battery charging stand that is not recommended
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. Do not abuse the cord on the battery charging stand. Never carry the charging
stand by its power cord. Never pull the power cord to remove the charging stand from
the power outlet. Damage to the cord or charging stand could occur and create an
electric shock hazard. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in
contact with sharp edges or moving parts, heat, oil, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury,
and damage to the cord which could result in electric shock.
5. Keep cord and charging stand away from heat to prevent damage to housing or
internal parts.
6. Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals which can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension
cord must be used, make sure: a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those on the charging stand, b) That extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical condition, and c) That you use a proper
extension cord.
ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and overheating of charging
stand. An AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-gauge is recommended for
an extension cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for an extension cord of 50-ft.
Extension cords100-ft. or longer are not recommended.
8. INSPECT tool cords for damage. Do not operate charging stand with a damaged
cord, which could cause shorting and electric shock. Have damaged tool cords
repaired at a Sears Service Center.
9. Do not operate charging stand if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
other wise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical
check to determine if the charging stand is in good working order.
NOTE: Before using battery charging stand, read all instructions and cautionary
markings in this manual, on battery charging stand, battery pack, and trimmer
using battery pack, to prevent misuse of the products and possible injury
or damage.
10. Do not disassemble charging stand. Take it to a Sears Parts and Repair Center
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
11. Disconnect charging stand from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce the
risk of electric shock or damage if metal items should fall into the opening in the
charging stand. It also will help prevent damage during a power surge.
12. Risk of electric shock. Do not touch un-insulated portion of output connector or
un-insulated battery terminal.
13. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, also loan them these instructions to
prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
