General Safety Rules
⚠ WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
Work Area Safety
- Do not use trimmer in rain, damp or wet locations. Do not operate trimmer in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
- Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line which can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
- Keep bystanders away. All visitors and pets should be kept a safe distance away from the work area.
Electrical Safety - Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire extension cords that have 3-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. The plug consists of a 3-pronged plug, a grounding prong, and connects to a properly grounded outlet.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
⚠ WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
Guidelines for using extension cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG) (When using 120 V only)
Ampere Rating | Total Length of Cord in feet | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
More Than | Not More Than | 25 | 50 | 100 | 150 |
0 | 6 | 18 | 16 | 16 | 14 |
6 | 10 | 18 | 16 | 14 | 12 |
10 | 12 | 16 | 16 | 14 | 12 |
12 | 16 | 14 | 12 | Not Recommended |
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #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.
⚠ WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
