IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Service on the product must be performed by qualified repair personnel only. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user or damage to
the product.
• Use only identical replacement parts when servicing the product. Use of unauthorized parts
may create a risk of serious injury to the user, or damage to the product.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polar-ized plug (one blade is wider than the
other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The 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 receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
• There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Store idle edger indoors – when not in use store in dry, and high or locked up place out of
reach of children.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Do not use with damaged plug. If tool is not working as it should or has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an authorized service center.
• Do not leave the tool when plugged in. Unplug from the power outlet when not in use, before
servicing, changing accessories, and before storing the tool. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Don’t Abuse Cord – Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on a cord,
or pull cord around sharp edges or corners or yank to disconnect. Do not run appliance over
cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• In a double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double insulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
• For household use only.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) – Protection should be provided on the circuit or outlet
to be used for the edger. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be
used for this measure of safety.
• Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t carry plugged in edger with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
• Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the edger.
• Don’t Force Edger – It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at rate for
which it was designed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Maintain Edger with Care – Keep sharp cutting edge clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect edger cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keeps handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
• Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the edger, 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 alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other condition that might effect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.
• Use Right Appliance – Do not use edger for any job except that for which it is intended.
• Extension Cord – Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. W
• User being against exceeding the maximum capacity, using the tool as it was not intended.
hen using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your prod-uct will draw. A
wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause overheating. The table
below 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.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Keep your extension cords away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 15 A time delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as
the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
