in appliance with finger on trigger. Be sure the
switch trigger is not en-gaged before plugging

Do not use tool if switch trigger does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch trigger is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect appliance from power source
before storing, servicing, changing accessories
such as cutting line. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Use only identical manufacturer's replacement
parts and accessories. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Maintain appliance with care - Replace string
head if cracked, chipped, or damaged in any
way.
Be sure the string head is properly installed
and securely fastened. Failure to do so can
causeserious injury.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and
handles are properly and securely attached.
Use only the manufacturer's replacement
string in the cutting head. Do not use any other
cutting attachment, for example, metal wire,
rope, or the like. To install any other brand of
cutting head to this string trimmer can result in
serious personal injury.
Never operate unit without the grass deflector
in place and in good condition.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center to
avoid riskof personal injury.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while
trimming. Keep string head below waist level.
Nevercut with the string head located over 30in,
or more above the ground.
Store idle appliances - When not in use, string
trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry,
locked place out of the reach of children.
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. A wire gauge
size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length.
A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gaugenumber, the
heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
Never use blades or flailing devices. Unit is
designed for line trimmer use only. Use of any
other accessories or attachments will increase
the risk of injury. Inspect area to be cut.
Remove objects (rocks, broken glass, nails,
wire, string, etc.) which can be thrown or
become entangled in cutting head.
Keep the air vents clean and free of debris to
avoid overheating the motor. Clean after each
use.

when not in use. Carry the unit with the motor
stopped.

children.
Do not hang unit so that the switch trigger is
depressed.
Do not use multiple cords.
Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the unit by
the extension cord or yank extension cord to
disconnect unit.
Keep the extension cord clear of operator and
obstacles at all times. Do not expose cords to
heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorized service center to avoid risk.
