• WEAR SAFETY GLASSES or other eye
protection. Also use face or dustmask if
operation is dusty.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or
outlet(s) to be used for the landscape
edger. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used
for this measure of safety.
• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE - Do not use
appliance for any job except that for
which it is intended.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric
shock use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as SW-A,
S0W-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
• EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord be sure it
is 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 following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING -
Don’t carry plugged in edger with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD - Never carry
landscape edger by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT to remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Make sure edger
switch is off when clearing jammed
material from blades. Do not grasp the
exposed cutting blades or cutting edges
when picking up or holding the edger.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
DANGER: Risk of cut. Keep hands away
from blades. Keep both hands on
handles when power is on.
• DON’T FORCE EDGER - It will do the
job better and with less likelihood of a
risk of injury at the rate for which it was
designed.
• DON’T OVERREACH - Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
• STAY ALERT - Watch what you are
doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate edger when you are tired.
• DISCONNECT EDGER from the power
supply when not in use or when servicing
or cleaning.
• STORE IDLE EDGER INDOORS - When
not in use, edger should be stored
indoors in a dry and high or locked-up
place - out of reach of children.
• KEEP GUARD in place.
• KEEP BLADE area clean.
DANGER: Risk of injury. Keep hands
and feet away from blade and cutting area.
When using the edger, stones, pieces of
metal and other objects can be thrown out
at high speed by the blade. The tool and
guard are designed to reduce the danger.
• MAKE SURE that other persons and
pets are at least 100 feet away.
• ALWAYS STAND to left side of main
handle.
• BEFORE LANDSCAPING OR
TRENCHING, check for buried electrical
cables.
• TO REDUCE the risk of rebound
(ricochet) injury, work going away from
any nearby solid object such as a wall,
steps, large stone, tree, etc. Use great
care when working close to solid objects
or into the wind, and, where necessary,
do edging or trimming by hand.
