APPliANCES
a) Replacement parts. When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
b) Polarized appliance connections.
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

f) use right appliance. Do not use appliance
for any job except that for which it is
intended.
g) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for an added measure of
safety.
h) wARNiNG! To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
i) 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
product will draw. An undersized extension
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. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
j) Avoid unintentional starting. Don't carry
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch.
Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
k) don't abuse cord. Never carry appliance
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
l) don't grasp the exposed cutting
blades or cutting edges when picking
up or holding the appliance.
m) don't force appliance. It will do the job
better and with less risk of injury at the rate
for which it was designed.
n) don't overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
o) Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate appliance
when you are tired.
p) disconnect appliance. Disconnect the
appliance from the power supply when not
in use, before servicing, when changing
