To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require
the use of a polarized extension cord. The 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 body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose product to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Store idle edger indoors – when not in use store in dry,
and high or locked up place out of reach of children.
