form moving parts. Loose clothing or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
5. USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields or full face shield, proper work shoes with rubber non-slip soles, heavy-duty
non-slip rubber gloves and dust mask or respirator and hearing protection. Hard
hat should be used for appropriate conditions.

changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
3. STORE idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Children

6. USE ONLY cutting blades that are recommended for this Edger. Blades that may be
suitable for one Edger may become hazardous when used on another Edger.
1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other and will require the use
of a polarized extension cord. The Edger’s 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 ifit fully into the wall outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change or alter
the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
2. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double-insulated) tools.
This Edger is a double insulated tool.
