5. Dress properly when operating trim
-
mer.
Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry that can get caught in the mov-
ing blades or parts of the trimmer.
Always wear rubber gloves and
substantial foot wear when work-
ing outside.
Always wear protective hair cover-
ing to contain long hair.
Always wear a face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
6. Always wear eye protection that
meets or exceeds the requirements of
ANSI Z87.1.
7. Wear long pants and shoes when
operating this tool.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of electric shock, use only with
an extension cord intended for
outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
the trimmer has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized exten-
sion cord. e trimmers 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 out-
let. is 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 trimmer plug, exten-
sion cord receptacle, or extension cord
plug in any way.
10.
Provide Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI) protection on the
circuit or outlet to be used for trimmer.
You may use receptacles with built-in
GFCI protection for this safety mea-
sure.
11. Do not operate trimmer near electric
power lines, telephone, or cable lines.
Keep trimmer at least 10 feet away
from any power lines or cables.
8. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an ex-
tension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your
trimmer will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
e table below shows the correct
size extension cord to use depend-
ing on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next larger gauge cord. e smaller
the gauge number, the larger the cord.
To reduce the risk of disconnection
of trimmer from the extension cord
during operation, use the cord hitch
described in this manual.
