• DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool
or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension
cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties,
or jewelry that can get caught and draw you into moving
parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Also wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.

lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

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 risk of personal injury.

damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly
aware of cord location and keep it well away from
the rotating blade.
