ELECTRICAL SAFETY
'_WARNING: Avoid a dangerous
environment. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, do not use in rain, in
damp or wet locations, or around
swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid
the possibility of electrical shock.
• Use a voltage supply as shown on
unit.
• Avoid dangerous situations. Do not
use in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases to avoid creating a
fire or explosion and/or causing
damage to unit.
• To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this equipment has a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than
the other) and will require the use of
a polarized extension cord. The ap-
pliance plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the exten-
sion cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. A polar-
ized extension cord will require the
use of a polarized wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized wall
outlet only one way. If plug does not
fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not change
the equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock,
use extension cords specifically
marked as suitable for outdoor ap-
pliances having electrical rating not
less than the rating of unit. Cord
must be marked with suffix "W-A" (in
Canada "W"). Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. In-
spect extension cord before use and
replace if damaged. Do not use a
damaged cord. Cord insulation
must be intact with no cracks or de-
terioration. Plug connectors must be
undamaged. An undersized exten-
sion cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The lower the
gauge number, the heavier the cord
(see SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD
in the OPERATION section).
• Do not use multiple cords.
• Do not abuse cord. Never carry the
unit by the extension cord or yank
extension cord to disconnect unit.
• Use cord retainer to prevent discon-
nection of extension cord from unit
and possible damage to the unit due
to plug movement (see ATTACH THE
EXTENSION CORD TO YOUR TRIM-
MER in the OPERATION section).
• Do not use the unit if the switch does
not turn the unit on and off properly.
Repairs to the switch must be made
by your Sears Service Center.
• Keep the extension cord clear of op-
erator and obstacles at all times. Do
not expose cords to heat, oil, water,
or sharp edges.
• To avoid the possibility of electric
shock, avoid body contact with any
grounded conductor, such as metal
fences or pipes.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection should be pro-
vided on circuit or outlet to be used.
Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be
used for this measure of safety.
UNIT SAFETY
• Inspect unit before use. Replace
damaged parts. Make sure all han-
dles, guards, and fasteners are in
place and securely fastened. Parts
that are damaged must be repaired
or replaced by a Sears Service Cen-
ter. These include head parts that
are cracked, or chipped, guards,
and any other part that is damaged.
• Do not repair unit yourself.
• Use only 0.065 in. (1.65 ram) diam-
eter recommended trimmer line (see
