WHILE OPERATING POLE
TRIMMER
1.
Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense.
2. Be aware of extension cord while operat-
ing Pole Trimmer. Be careful not to trip
over extension cord. Keep extension cord
away from cutter blades at all times.
3. Avoid Unintentional Starting – Do not
carry plugged-in Pole Trimmer with
fi nger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF
when plugging in Pole Trimmer.
4. Do Not Overreach – Keep proper
footing and balance at all times when
operating Pole Trimmer.
DANGER - RISK OF CUT
– Keep hands away from blades
at all times. Keep both hands on
handle areas when Pole Trimmer
is on. Do not attempt to remove cut
material nor hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Do not
grasp the exposed cutting blades
or cutting edges when picking up
or holding the Pole Trimmer.
CAUTION - Blades coast after
turn off.
5. Disconnect Pole Trimmer – Discon-
nect the Pole Trimmer from the power
supply
• when not in use
• before servicing
• when changing accessories such as
blades
• when clearing jammed material from
blades
• when moving from one worksite to
another
6. Do Not Force Pole Trimmer – It will do
the job better and with less likelihood
of a risk of injury at the rate for which
it was designed.
7. Do Not Abuse Power Cord – Never
carry Pole Trimmer by power cord or
yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep power cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.

Provide Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection on the circuit or outlet
to be used for Pole Trimmer. You may
use receptacles with built-in GFCI pro-
tection for this safety measure.
11. Do not operate Pole Trimmer near
electric power lines, telephone, or cable
lines. Keep Pole Trimmer at least 10 feet
away from any power lines or cables.
9. Extension Cord – 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 Pole Trimmer will draw.
An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size
extension cord to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next larger gage cord.
The smaller the gage number, the larger
the cord. To reduce the risk of discon-
nection of Pole Trimmer from the exten-
sion cord during operation, use the cord
hitch described in this manual.
