IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: WHEN USING THIS TOOL, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PERSONAL INJURY,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Replacement Parts - When servicing use only
identical replacement parts.
• Polarized Plugs - To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will require the
use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance
plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A
polarized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If
the plug 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.
• Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use
hedge trimmers in damp or wet locations.
• Don’t Use In Rain.
• Keep Children Away - All visitors should be kept
at a distance from work area.
• Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Use
of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust
mask 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 hedge trimmer.
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, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
• Extension Cords - Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 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.
