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 in 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 [] eliminates the need for the

three-wire grounded power cord and grounded

power supply system. Applicable only to Class II

(double-insulated) tools.This trimmer is a double

insulated toor.

Outlet Box-

IA CAUTION: This trimmer has a 12-in. Pigtail Power Cord that

must be plugged into a proper extension cord (see page 7).

/k WARNING: Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of

normal safety precautions when operating this tool.

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. DO NOT expose tools to rain or wet conditions or use electric tools

in wet or damp locations. Water entering an electric tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

5. If operating an electric 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.

6. 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.

7. INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at

a Sears Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord

location and keep it well away from the spinning cutting lines.

8. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or

to pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edge or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use aproper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters

Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage,

resulting in a loss of power and overheating of tool.

For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a least 14-gauge is

recommended for an extension cord of 25- ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge

for an extension cord of 50-ft. Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not

recommended.

Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger

number (14-gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge wire

has more capacity than 14-gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked

"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of

electric shock.

IZ_CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the work area.

Position the cord so that it will not get caught on bushes, hedges,

tree trunks, lawnmowers or other obstructions while you are working

with the trimmer.

replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since

touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting

in serious injury.
