KNOW YOUR ELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMER (Fig. 2)
Your hedge trimmer has many built-in convenience features for fast, efficient cutting.
These features include the front handle with a top trigger switch, and a trigger safety
switch under the rear handle, to prevent accidental starts. Both must be pressed on
to turn the hedge trimmer on.
Your hedge trimmer has a precision built electric motor and it should only be connected
to a 120-volt, 60 Hz AC ONLY power supply (normal household current). The trimmer
should always be used with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet.
DO NOT operate this trimmer on direct current (DC). The large voltage drop would
cause a loss of power and the motor would overheat. If the trimmer does not operate
when plugged into correct 120-volt, 60 Hz AC ONLY outlet, check the power supply.
The trimmer comes with a 12-in. pigtail power cord and must be plugged into a proper
extension cord.
