SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully

into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.

DO NOT change or alter the plug in any way.

2, Double insulation SYMBOL eliminates the need for the three

wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply

system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.

3. Before plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage

supplied is within the voltage marked on the tool's data plate.

DO NOT use "AC only" rated tools with a DC power supply.

4. If operating the power tool in damp locations is

unavoidable, ALWAYS use a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter to supply power to your tool. ALWAYS wear

electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in damp

conditions.

5. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric

shock.

6. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the

tools or pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace

damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the

risk of electric shock.

8. When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an

outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords

are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric

shock.

NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG

(American Wire Gauge) for safe, efficient use. Smaller gauge wires,

have greater capacity (16 gauge wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire).

plugged in trimmer with you finger on the switch. Be sure the

disconnect it from power receptacle. Keep cord away from

heat oil and sharp edges.

sense. DO NOT operate the trimmer when you are tired.
