drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. If the
extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor
work. The letters "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.

1. Use the proper size and type of cutting line. Do not use metal wire,
rope or the like. Do not use cutting line heavier than that recommended
by the manufacturer. See the accessory section of this manual for more
detailed information about the proper cutting line to use.
2. Keep the cutting line trimmed to the proper length (done automatically
by the appliance). Make sure that the guard is firmly in place, in working
order and positioned between yourself and the cutting line.
3. Wear long pants and substantial footwear to protect yourself from
injury caused by flying debris. This is especially important when
edging with the appliance.

Not Recommended
Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure
that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small
blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension
cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
tool plug or extension cord in any way.

Unplug the tool before attempting to
attach the guard.
The handle is shipped with the screw
partially threaded in to prevent loss.
1. Remove the screw.
2. Slide the handle onto the handle
housing as shown in figure 1.
3. Thread the screw back into the hole and
tighten securely with a screwdriver.
4. Insert the upper assembly into the
lower assembly by lining up the groove in the upper tube so that
it slides into the lower. Both the motor housing and the handle
housing should be on the same side of the tube. Push the upper
tube until it does not move anymore. A slight tug in the opposite
direction will tell you the unit is assembled. Slide the collar nut
down and tighten it securely (Figure 2, 2A).
